I figured for this assignment I would look into doing something productive with my homework, so I went to the Best Buy website (via google.com search, not typing in bestbuy.com in the URL bar, which I typically do) to check out and buy the new Madden Football game for the X-Box.
The first thing I noticed was the sale going on for Labor Day. I read a little more about it but did not see video games on the sale list. I didn't really want to look around the deals just to find that Madden was not included, so I skipped out for now, I may go back later. Then I clicked the product drop down tab, which had a down arrow next to it so I figured it would drop down to see what I wanted. I was pleasantly surprised at how little I had to think after that point though. They had listed every little thing they would need to know to make sure I went to the right section of the site to find exactly what I was looking for.
I was a little disappointed though because once I narrowed my search to just X-box games, I was directed to games for PS3 and Wii. I actually was confused as to why I was seeing this and even thought I had clicked something wrong, so I went back to see if there was something I had done wrong (not good Best Buy!).
I ended up settling on the New Releases button on the main X-box page and then searched for Madden from there. All and all I was able to get where I needed without too much confusion, but there was some. Now, if I were to send my mom to the website to order something there might be an issue (like I could get the wrong game! Which would be a disaster), but then again, I guess that is why they have to store and the assistance in the store!
