This is an unfortunate left over of "old-style" marketing. I've noticed this at BB as well as some other stores--leave the MSRP sticker on the product, advertise it much lower on the shelf with a price card and make the customer "feel good" at the "bargain". Unfortunately, with media (unlike big ticket items like a car), all it does is create the impression that the media is overpriced (particularly when the flimsy cards are missing or improperly aligned with the product--that is, when it's clear that a product is on sale).
