No ones talking about this. The Black Friday sale will having "dynamic pricing" with price difference between accounts of a few Dollars.

I think I just hate Sony now, I finally flipped and I don't wanna give them my money. 

Yeah this shit should be illegal, it's predatory and scummy as fuck.

Isnt it illegal tho?

I don't know why I keep getting negatively surprised by Sony all the time, because their direction has been terrible for a really long time already. I have some understanding for dynamic pricing if e.g. supply is limited, but there's no excuse for dynamic pricing when what you're selling is 100% digital, with unlimited supply.

Of course at the same time, this is just capitalism showing its ugly side. It's actually surprising this hasn't become a thing sooner.

I'll keep buying physical only games (used or when its dirt cheap) for my PS5 and remainder of this gen, but after this gen I'll be looking for a new main console if Sony continues to go down this route.

I don't even understand how this works and why there is such little news on it.

It can't be legal in Europe, this has gotta be a USA thing cause we go hard on Consumer Rights here. I still don't fully understand how it works or why they would do it for such little money as a 5 dollar difference between accounts. 

The media is largely owned by big business and so tend to ignore their shittier tendencies.

Yeah, I should imagine one can't get away with this kind of thing here in Europe. But I don't know, I haven't compared prices with my friends or anything like that. They could be screwing me over right now.
