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.

How pathetic… This is like you're buying iPhone 12 with iphone 17 price (5 years old tech with 25% price hike). Oh, is your VR2 collecting dust like mine too?

People would've had one already if they wanted one. They're not going to sell. I say this as someone who's owned every generation of them.

Maybe for yourself, but there are parents and grandparents whose children/grandchildren are reaching that age.

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.
