Why not $199 + free game + 1 year PS+ too

Nah, that would look too desperate. I don't have sex with someone begging me to fuck them.

 

[FairXchange]

How about free?

Still too much effort, I need a Sony tech to come hook it up to my TV for me then I'll consider taking it for free.

 

[Vidpixel]

I'm more shocked that it's $349.00 as opposed to $349.99.

 

[Eurocult]

How about free?

That would be ideal, but I have to think of the Devs & Sony employees. They like to get paid too.

 

[Badosh]

$199.99 + 2 free games + 1 year of PS+ and I'd seriously start thinking about it.

149.99 + 2 free games + 8 digital exclusives + 1 free Xbox One + 2 years of PS+ and 1 year of PS- and Sony may have themselves a customer.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I am sure its like Costco pricing codes where .99 and .00 mean last stock etc.

Ahh, gotcha.

 

[Eurocult]

149.99 + 2 free games + 8 digital exclusives + 1 free Xbox One + 2 years of PS+ and 1 year of PS- and Sony may have themselves a customer.

I'm trying to quickly do the math in my head, but I'm pretty sure two years of PS+ and one year of PS- equals just one year of PS+ still a good deal, but I figured I'd point it out.

 

[Rivitur]

Remember to buy in bulk.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Nah, that would look too desperate. I don't have sex with someone begging me to fuck them.

exactly the reason why i couldn't get myself an xbone yet.

 

[MightySpicyTaco]

Throw in a set of tires and I'm in.

 

[Badosh]

I'm trying to quickly do the math in my head, but I'm pretty sure two years of PS+ and one year of PS- equals just one year of PS+ still a good deal, but I figured I'd point it out.

Yeah, but you don't want to tell the customers that.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Well they don't entirely cancel each other out; opposites attract and all. The Value proposition of a year of PS+ and PS- is marginal but I could see the argument.

 

[serversurfer]

Nah, but they do have lower margins that are made up through larger orders and going after a higher income bracket. Megan McArdle did a good writeup on how Wal-Mart and Costco have radically different business models despite their ostensible similarities a few years ago.

Thanks. I'll check that out.

See? We can relate.

 

[inpHilltr8r]

$350 may well be the price to retail right now.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

$350 may well be the price to retail right now.

$350 would make Microsoft sweat.

Even funnier would be a bundle with the camera included for $399

 

[Kibbles]

Maybe they want to make room for holiday bundles?

Anyway, if anyone is aiming to sign up for Sam's Club, you should also know that they only take MasterCard and Discover.

They take my Visa debit as credit

 

[DustyVonEric]

I believe that's because the price tag must be taken to the register, in order to claim one.

err they are telling you to only take one because they are only supposed to put out slips for the amount of stock they have...

I know

Sam's club member. Just struck me as funny is all.

 

[krypt0nian]

If this is the retailer drop before an official one, MS be shook.

 

[JumpJeff84]

149.99 + 2 free games + 8 digital exclusives + 1 free Xbox One + 2 years of PS+ and 1 year of PS- and Sony may have themselves a customer.

Bundle in a Vita and I MIGHT consider dropping $ 149.99 on it

 

[BigMoose]

Yeah I saw those today while I was in Sams Club along with Xbox One w/ kinect for $429. Solid deals on both.

 

[Raist]

What the fuck.

 

[ILoveBish]

What the fuck.

My exact thought when I saw it.

 

[smurfx]

Unofficial price drops like this are common before official ones. I imagine Sony has to react to MS's Kinectless bundle fast if they don't want to give up another console generation.

what makes you think microsoft wouldn't match sony's price cut? it's not like the xb1 is expensive to make without the kinect.

 

[Xone9]

$329 with groupon sams club deal (if you signed up)

 

[Brohan]

This is too cool. XD

 

[Singaporn]

"Please take one"

geee sure dont mind if i do

 

[Mysterious]

PLEASE TAKE ONE.


PLEASE?

 

[condompickle]

$300 would be the sweet spot for me. couple more years.

 

[PachinkoChampBruh]

if it was $45 with rayman i would buy.

This is somewhat off topic, but the videogame section at my local Sam's Club (#8141) is pretty weird. They've never carried any PS4 systems, games, or accessories. They had stacks of XB1 consoles last year, and continue to carry both it as well as PS3 and 360 games and accessories. About half of the section is devoted to Disney Infinity and Skylanders. On the plus side, the $20 PSN cards sell for $18.42.
