They didn't let you buy the item for which there will no longer be updates or warranty support. Why would you be angry?

Because he told the store that he didn't care and just wanted the hardware.
Which is a perfectly valid and understandable viewpoint.
As is the store's viewpoint that no matter what is said now, the average consumer (not GP poster) is an asshole and will try to bring their purchase back a week from now citing all of the problems that they just said would not be a problem.
In Germany, they sometimes sell you stuff for much cheaper, especially display items, if you let go of the warranty by having a stamp on your invoice. I bought a 1440p display from Media Markt around 120 Euros, which was normally sold for 240.

It sounds like the poster was angry because Best Buy wouldn't let the poster exchange their money for the watch that Best Buy had in stock. I can understand that, it would be pretty annoying to go to a store, they have something in stock, but won't sell it to you.
