Joel Taveras writes, "I was wondering if competing retailers would match this deal. I made some calls to Gamestop, Toy”R”Us, Best Buy, and FYE to see if there was a way for those retailers (with their price match policies) to participate in the promo and the answer was ‘no’ accross the board."
PlayStation 5 consoles will once again drop to just $449.99 on August 6 in the US.
@darth the sales numbers in the UK, where this price cut has already been implemented, strongly disagree with you.
No. They are going for off loading before the slim. I'd save my $ till then. Unless that kinda thing doesn't matter to you.
That's November..
This is for kids on summer holidays
Not everywhere is hot and sunny like California, some kids, need things to do when it's raining/cold and this, is it.
They going to bury Xbox. Xbox will turn around and justify the mobile/streaming shift.
They already are burying Xbox... this is just another nail in that coffin. Sony put the hammer away and busted out the nail gun.
i believe they want as many gamers to buy PS5 as possible because once someone buys into the ecysystem they are a lot less likely to leave for another platform
This is how Sony goes for the jugular. Microsoft can’t afford to make games exclusive if it doesn’t have any marketshare. Also clear that the discless PS5 will be the single PS5 going forward and the disc drive will be an add-on. When the $300 PS5 slim launches, the hot sales of PS5 will go super nova. (Don’t feel like you need to wait. On an annual cost basis, you may be better off getting a $400-$450 PS5 that you can use now versus waiting for a console that will be obsolete sooner.)
"Microsoft can’t afford to make games exclusive if it doesn’t have any marketshare".
Sheesh, and here I thought M$ had a monopoly on the gaming market. Sony owing most of the market means it'll be easier for M$ to buy publishers to compete lol
Stand by my boy. Digging up this goal post. Pardon while I write my new narrative.
Looking forward to when Microsoft drops the price of the Xbox Series X & the comments will be that Microsoft are desperate lolol
Mid week-to end-of-week usually mean Walmart and Target are our best bets
9AM Eastern today. That was when the Sanrio Animal Crossing: New Horizons amiibo cards were supposed to go live for "in-store pickup" ordering at Target. You can guess what happened next. - Destructoid

There's still hope for Amazon.
After that ad and this article, for sure Target will be inundated with a lot of on-line and over-the-phone orders.
I'm surprised by Best buy usually they're pretty good about price matching.
Wait, what's a Target?
Just asked Amazon if they're willing to match it and they said they can't. Bummer. Might just have to cancel with Amazon and try my luck at picking it up at a Target.
