I went to Fry's Electronics to get an unrelated item...

I noticed that they had Oni for Macintosh priced at $39.95. Then I noticed that they had Oni for PC on sale for $19.95! So I took a copy of Oni for the Mac and tried to get them to sell it to me for $19.95. Despite talking to several people, they wouldn't go for it, so I told them that they just lost a sale.

Does anyone know if this is something set up by Bungie (Microsoft) or if it's up to the store?

It definitely wouldn't be either Microsoft or Bungie, because Gathering of Developers is the publisher. However, retailers decide what to set the price of a game at. It's no small secret that retailers generally charge more for a Mac version of the product, simply because they're not going to sell as many copies compared to a PC product that could be on that same shelf space.

Most users are better off ordering online where you can find better deals and better service from retailers who value their Mac sales a lot.
