Strange because it's available everywhere else so it wouldn't make sense to have this as prime exclusive. Possibly it's a mistake in the system but if it's correct it's pretty crappy.

TFJWM3513d ago

Seems to be because they have it a Prime Sale right now for 279 instead of the normal 299

Eonjay3513d ago

So basically, in order to get the cheaper price, you have to have a prime account. So its like every prime deal ever.

iTechHeads3513d ago

No, the bundle was locked to prime even before it went on sale.
I'm guessing the small price cut is to make the prime exclusivity feel a little less like a rip off.

10 second search finds the bundle from another retailer on Amazon for nearly the same price.

Dumb article, it's called benefits of service. Are you gonna get pissed because people at Costco get better prices? Damn Costco paywall! Lol.

Aenea3513d ago

But they can still buy every article still tho, right?

PSN_ZeroOnyx3512d ago

Only if you pay the yearly Costco fees. Costco, Sam's club and others like them require you to pay a yearly fee just to have the right to shop there. Amazon does cost more per year, but everyone is welcome to shop on Amazon whether you're a prime member or not.

I'm a prime member now, but I shopped on Amazon for nearly a year and decided prime would save me money in the long run bc of free shipping and 20% discount on all pre-orders (games, consoles, movies etc)

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing3d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster923d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit3d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing3d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster923d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
