Just how accurate is brickseek? I always by Sony consoles right as the gen is winding down, been looking to snag this but I'm probably shit out of luck. Maybe next year!

Spider-Man PS4 $199 Black Friday Bundle Is So Popular It Is Already Selling Out Everywhere
- Thread starter patapon
- Start date
I heard my mother, a woman who for my entire childhood, youth and entire adult life until today, called every console a Nintendo actually say the words PlayStation when she noticed a ps symbol sticker I have. I told her that was the most shocking thing I heard they asked how she knew and she goes "I heard about it as saw it on tv,I saw the logo"
I saw what you did there :) . Slipery slope to a landfill....
OH that's right. Seems like $200 is the sweet spot in November
Or just release a new pokemon every year in Nov. That helps too. lol
Lol...
It's coming second November and First in December (first by a loooong shot)
I got both with the intention of selling the Pro since all I have is a 1080p TV. After using both, I'll be keeping the Pro. Even on a1080p set, the differences were incredibly apparent.
Be curious to see what happens in December if Sony kept the $199 Spider-man bundle going till end of the year.
Hah welp, that's what they get for taking their time. Showed them the picture of the lady with all the consoles in the 3 carts and it really hit them, now they are ripping and surfing around trying to catch one.
Thanks for letting me know.
Most likely they'll go with a different sku priced around $249. Wont be nearly as good as the spidey bundle.
GameStop is still offering free $50 gift cards with most (all?) console purchases I believe. Tempted to grab a switch for myself before the deal is over.
Let your friend know there will likely be a Black Ops 4 bundle in December for $249 (the bundle is 100% happening... it's just not confirmed to be $249). Unless Sony does something differently this year, that should be the best deal for the remainder of 2018.
still not as good as the spidey bundle but still some savings there
Hmmm might grab a second ps4 after all :) thanks for that.
Seen a lot of Spider-Man & Minecraft bundles being sold other Xbox bundles not so much switches were in abundance I don't know if everyone who wanted one got one or what cause they were just sitting there at least in my area
Hell yes the best I've seen since the Mario & NES, Sonic & Sega Genesis era
The 2009 Walmart bundle that had Arkham Asylum + Infamous + The Dark Knight Blu-Ray for $299 was an amazing deal back then, I got that one though I think I ended up paying $399 because I went to the US a couple of weeks after BF. Both were highly acclaimed games from that year, fairly recent and you also got a copy of what probably was the best Superhero movie at the time. Hell, you had the best Batman game and the best Batman movie in one package, I was very excited when the lady at Walmart showed me they had this bundle in stock.
Yes, holidays are the only sales bright spot Microsoft can count on. Put it this way: PS4 is overall 15% ahead in the US right now...but for only one holiday has it been that far ahead (2015).
I agree. Even with sales concentrated into November more than in the past, 2m is a really high bar. I don't think PS4 will get there. (But of course, predicting individual platforms for specific months is a fool's game.)
Does it? I can't see a Samsung 6000 series being higher than a 7.5 and unless it's at an 8 or higher it isn't "good". It's a budget TV. If you're gonna buy a Samsung stick with QLED or if you need price a VIZIO.
A Samsung 6000 series isn't worth it. At best I'd buy it for my parents for general use. 8000 series or higher.
Depending on Sony's December plans Switch may still have a chance to outsell PlayStation this holiday season.
Technically, those two assessments contradict each other at this point in time.

Yep, December is a different story. Should be a massive month for Nintendo. Curious to see if Sony discounts the Black Ops 4 bundle to $249 or lower.
It's only a question of shipments. The PS4 was almost sold out before Black Friday starts. The demand was far from fulfilled. They could have sold more than 2 million if they shipped that many units
These were the deals last holiday.

It's ok, it would be for their kid so I wouldn't want to suggest those bundles. They screwed up, $300 and a game is on them. They will learn to ignore these types of tech deals I bet.
I guess I'll tell them about the above deals but tell them to sell or trade the game, but knowing them they will let their 12 year old play those games. Bah oh well it's up to them. Thanks for the info.
Just saw that video. Those ppl destroyed that pallet in a minute! Crazy!
This probably didnt help.
saw this on reddit, walmart employees only took 2 of the carts away from them
https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/9zjjdy/people_like_this_suck_3_full_carts_with_ps4_s/
Good thing walmart employee stopped her
I love how the two women just get up and walk away like it was no problem.
I'm not surprised.
Store I visited was out of Switch and Pokémon. Pokeball Plus was available. Sony and Nintendo will be making bank this year
I'd guess Sony will cut that to $249 around the second week of December.
Depending what happens with revisions and price cuts we could see switches going for $199 next year on top of a new generation of Pokémon. Shit will be insane.
It seems they have more stock than last year by a decent amount so I think it'll be close. They could definitely make 2 million in November with a permanent cut to $199. At this point I'm starting to wonder if that'll ever happen.
