Amazon is filled with vendors indistinguishable from ebay resellers trying to game its search, you can probably find them for retail with a bit more effort.

Then you get to play the "what's actually in this box I just got because not even Amazon knows" lottery

Let's be honest, it is rather insane that the PS4 virtually never dropped in price over the course of an entire 7 year console gen.

The amazon prices are just gougers, but yeah its nuts to me that a PS4 pro can still be sold used on Ebay for like $325. You can basically get your money back. I'm so used to lugging in a last gen console to a retail store to get a new one and getting like $50 for it.

I sold mine to my brother for $100 and I think he has used it for like 2 hours total :sigh: Was hoping to get him into games.

It definitely did at some point, I bought it for easily 100 less than the launch price at retail whenever I got mine.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Individual stores might have had sales on them at some point, but overall the price has pretty much never dropped from what it was when the console launched.

I really need to get off my rear end and sell my old base PS4. Looks like it could go for $150 w/ DS4 on ebay, may more since I upgraded the HDD to 1TB. Not bad

i think the general console shortage during covid is keeping prices stable. A PS4 has been hardish to find for over a year now, and PS5s are insanely hard to find, so there's no reason for PS4 prices to go down the toilet since they are still pretty desirable. If PS5s were readily available and PS4s had stayed in stock throughout 2020 they'd be selling for under 100.

2 years ago you could grab a used PS4 off of CL easily for $100-150

Just for reference, by the end of their respective generations the PS2 and PSX were both selling for $99 or less, and I saw PS3s going for under $150 in 2013.

Saw a theory that they're purposely making it horrible so that the playerbase plummets and they can kill it indefinitely. Or that it's going f2p soon.

They put a ton of money into this game so I don't think it's the former. It could be the latter though.

Then again FO76 still isn't F2P even with all of its issues.

Yeah it’s definitely this. The price of second hand PS4s here absolutely shot through the roof last April. My brother paid like €300 for a second hand slim in late 2020, which is insane.

None of that really addresses the fact that the PS4 pro (despite some added features) is still officially MSRP $399, what the console launched at 7+ years ago. It's insane, covid or not, secondhand market or not.

NEWT THE MOON

Picked up Bloodborne after another months-long gap, and had a hell of a time figuring out just where I was in this game. The last few pages of Souls talk made me really want to check out DS3 and Demons Souls, but I gotta beat BB first. I just gotta.

So I finally figured out where I was supposed to be and tore apart the One Reborn, and I’m gunning to get this thing done probably tomorrow, hopefully.

The Xbox One is still $300. I'm sure they're both making money on the devices, but maybe there's a limit to how much price can scale for the modern paradigm of console design, in ways that wasn't the case for PS2 and before. (Talking out ma butt here)

I don’t think you’ll see PS4s for under $100 until the PS6.9+ Diamond edition comes out.

I'm worried we've reached a stage where the price of everything is permanently inflated due to the ease and efficiency of scalping.

I wonder if it's just that the last console generation didn't get the cheap end-of-gen slim revisions that usually cut manufacturing costs significantly. I guess there's less of a point to them with BC on the newer consoles and competition from the mobile devices that people already have.
