Okay two things to make sure I am not confused here. 1. Am I converting this correctly into US dollars? For example the limited edition UC4 bundle is that coverted to 334.49 us dollars? That can't possibly be correct. The 500G same bundle here in the US is like $369.99. So I HAVE to be converting wrong maybe that's why those deals look so odd to me. 2. Those are for brand new consoles right? |
the european retail maket works way different than the us
european retailer are very price competitive and consumer are more price sensitive
in the us, the RRP is mostly the price you pay. and if you want a great deal, the manufacturer does normally start them, (xbox temporarily pricecuts etc)
also these prices include 19% VAT already. and yes they are brand new consoles.
if you want some refrubished or used consoles, you can get an 500gb xbox one for as low as 169€ or a 1tb ps4 for 199€
ps4 and xbox one consoles are incredible cheap here in germany

O you're compairing cherry picked deals with RRP. Just seen it's a Gamestop exclusive bundle but if you check their website you can now get get this bundle (1TB PS4 with 4 games) for €349 or with an extra controller for €399. |
as i said, this are just the deals from the last few weeks. these kind of deals are regular and nothing special and not cherry picked.
why should i use the RRP? the RRP for the 500GB XB1 and PS4 is still 319€ and 349€ but that is not the price i have to pay as a consumer.
and that is the reason, why a "new" bundle with old games for 399€ is a bad deal
correct. the gamestop excluive bundle is already 50€ cheaper than RRP, because no1 would buy that console for 399€ here
