Blatant troll attempt here...seriously.


How? I'm asking why are these PS4's $359.99 from an official seller. How did they get so many to sell for this price?


Shipping too many or excessive trade -ins implying it's not selling or people are not happy and trading it in, the title is pure trolling to get a reactiuon.

What do suggest the reasoning for this is?

Companies do this all the time. They use Ebay or amazon to list prices at lower than MSRP to create traffic to their normal websites by reaching a demographic that may not normally browse their fares.

This is why its still $399 on tigerdirect.com and $399 everywhere else. There is no over shipment. There is no excessive trade-in from disgruntles consumers. It is a relatively common practice to increase hits on their website through other channels for long term gain. This is not, as much as you wish, a troublesome sign. Sorry.



In the past month I have seen a number of reatilers selling PS4 between like $350-80. I cant fathom why. New SKU incoming? New revision?



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Okay.

Step 1: go to tigerdirect.com

Step 2: Witness the price of PS4

Step 3: Go to every other authorized sellers website of the PS4

Step 4: See all the prices, make a note of these prices

Step 5: Go back to Ebay.

Step 6: Make a note at the single promotional price

Step 7: read my post again. Slowly. Carefully. Calmly.

Why would anybody go through all those steps when the $359.99 is RIGHT THERE?
