So anybody know the deal with the PS Store and targeted pricing?

During BF and CM, if I was generally browsing on the PS Store online, I'd see the sale prices, but then if I logged on to make the purchase, the prices would change or deals would completely disappear.
Like for example, God of War Ragnarok Deluxe Edition was on for $39.99, but once I logged in, it was $49.99.
Another was PS Plus. Premium and Extra both had discounts, yet after logging in, only Premium had a discount.

Considering I've been a Plus sub since 2013, this seems really strange to me. Isn't that supposed to get you better deals?
SNY's business practices are getting way out of hand if this isn't some error.

No idea, only thing I can think of is that the store before you logged in was not the same region as your actual PSN store. 

2 things though:

1. PSN sub doesn't automatically give you better deals. It never has. Certain items get better discounts but that's not across the board for all games on discount.

2. PS+ subs having discounts was dependant on region and whether you were already subbed. Weirdly this year there was no rhyme or reason for this. I got essential while on sub for 20% off. 

As for the situation with pricing, I imagine it really was an error. i don't see anyone reporting this issue and I would imagine it would've been big news if it had occured. Sucks though.
