Forums - Gaming Discussion - Uncharted Bundle PS4: $284.99 / (un)official tax discussion thread

Ljink96 on 09 October 2015

Dang, a PS4 and 3 games for $285...that's practically insane. I hope the price drop continues into January. Just image what this will do to PS4 sales. The price cut in Japan gave it about a 30K increase to 46K. Sony's doing 8th gen right:D

Umm, please remove that. It's really graphic. Like seriously, my little brother @7 years old walked by here and wanted to know what I was looking at, and I just barely managed to ctrl+w before he saw anything. Not that it's only disturbing for 7 years old, I found it rather disturbing myself.

If it differs from state to state, I can see why they'd show the price without the tax on a website that applies nationwide, like Amazon, etc.
But I don't understand why they wouldn't show the price including the tax in the actual physical store. Because you have prices variations between stores as well all the time. And they of course then display different price tags. So why not include the tax in the pricetag in the store?

And yeah, saw someone mention that it doesn't apply to non-prepared food. That makes it less confusing when grocery shopping. But I still don't see why they don't include the tax price on the price tag label.
If you're in a Wallmart in Arizona and a pre-made sandwich costs $3.56 including tax, what does it matter if the same sandwich in a Wallmart in California costs $3.48 including tax? Why would that prevent them from displaying the full price on the sandwich? It's not like I'm gonna want to fly out to Cali to save 8 cents. There are even price differences for the same product within the same state anyway, from store to store.

My theory is it's part blame shifting. It's not us (the store) that makes the price high, it's the government!
At gas stations they do advertise the price including tax, yet there's a big sticker on every pump explaining they (the gas station) are only responsible for part of the price with a nice pie chart of all the taxes added on top.
Anyway it's always best to advertise with the lowest price, hence also Only $349* *After $50 mail in rebate. Screw that. (Does a mail in rebate refund you the taxes as well btw?)

It sucks anyway. I had enough points on my credit card to get a nice new laptop, high-five it's 'free'. Get to checkout, that will be the rest of the points plus another $72 to pay for the rest of the tax.
