I didn't realise there were any deals last year. And I actually forgot about Cyber Monday being a thing. If i remember rightly, more money was spent online on CM than BF last year. So perhaps we will see a few new deals there, maybe involving the Pro |
Technically, there weren't any actual deals for the Pro. A store, I believe it was Target or Best Buy, usually has a 15% off on electronics for Cyber Monday. Amazon matched it, too. If they do the same thing this year, you should be able to get the Pro for $340, again.
Though, I will say I'm surprised Sony didn't at least offer a BF deal for the Pro, lowering it to $349. I guess they aren't worried by the X, at all. I think they figure that most of the sales are just going to existing owners, while they are more concerned about getting new owners and therefore extra revenue streams from more game and Plus purchasers. Then, they will begin to dominate next January, anyway.
And it seems they are right, especially on the former. Even with all the new X/S sales, if you look at the Top 20, HW excluded, 10 are PS and 4 are Nintendo, leaving MS with only 2 for Xbox.

See above. They are definitely mixing things up with a $199 PS4 for an entire week, though. I'm guessing they got a ton of those bad boys ready if they are going to keep them available for a week, considering a PS4 that cheap is going to fly off of shelves.
