Is it LEGAL to post competitors prices next to my prices for services on my web site?

I am starting a business, Strike9 Computing, and I wanted to know if I could run into trouble if I display, specifically, Geeksquad's prices for their services next to my prices I am charging. I also have a link that customers can follow showing the same price on Geeksquad's website. Is it legal to have their prices next to mine? The site can be seen at: www ... , and follow the Services tab in the navigation bar.

You may realize that you create an adverse reaction. With consumer confidence at an all time low, they may end up going with the company they recognize, despite a higher price. Don't provide a link unless you like giving free advertising to your competition. On top of that, you may run into legal issues with using the name in any manner without permission as I am sure it is trademarked. Simply say - top competitor's price :

I say go for it, worst case scenario is you have to pull it down and say sorry. :)

Go ask a supermarket manager. Like in Food4Less they always list their produce prices and what not with local competitors prices.
