The real deals here are the PlayStation Fortnite bundles which are $100 less than other pricing and $200 less than they'll be on the 2nd. Wanted to make the thread so anyone on the fence about purchasing had time to before the price increases next week.

This will kill the industry. No one will be able to afford these prices to game.

Quote from Enoch42 :
PC players can't get ram or hard drives thanks to AI. Xbox has been raising all of their prices for awhile. Sony too!? Right now sucks to be a gamer.
If people dont buy into the bs then Sony would think differently. However, they know people won't stop gaming so they'll continue to be greedy.

Tarrifs were done away with about a month ago. Deemed illegal by the Supreme Court.
Except Drumph immediately instated new tariffs under a different law to skirt the ruling.

X Box has already been raising their prices. Sony is jumping on the bandwagon now.
