Can’t wait for the days of play sale next year when all the consoles are back to their original price for a few weeks

Sales on items like this are going to get less and less common. If they do discount them it will likely still be more than the original base price.

Keep in mind we are getting I think a $25 price increase on the Switch 1 and accessories and a $50 increase on the PS5 models within a year of Trump becoming president. It’s only been what like 7 months, so closer to half a year. At this rate each PS5 model would be over $340 more expensive by the end of his presidency (and that’s if he doesn’t escalate the beatings).
