Playstation TV bundle pre-order available at Best Buy. PSTV, 8 GB memory card, Dualshock 3, and Lego Movie game for $140. BB is also selling the PSTV by itself for $100, so if you're inclined to get it, I'd go for the bundle.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Bundling a DS4 would make more sense wouldn't it?

Yes, but it's a total of $40 more than the device by itself. Best Buy wouldn't make as much money if they offered a DS4.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

That bundle isn't specific to Best Buy though, is it? That was the bundle announced by Sony directly at their conference. Neither are really deals, just MSRP.

Amazon lists the same - http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-TV...playstation+tv

No over ride is required, just make sure they scan the preorder card after the price match. There are a bunch of good deals to be found with price matching Amazon and Best Buy (Killzone Shadow Fall for $15, FF remastered for $10, Infamous SS for $25 etc).
Target price matches Amazon now?

No it wouldn't. The Vita TV works with a DS3 not DS4.

Then why bother making it stream ps4 games? Design it to work with the new hotness. The DS3 blows.

Target has been matching amazon for awhile now. It's YMMV getting them to stack the pm and the preorder promo though. It's best to buy a bunch of other stuff you need then give them the preorder card at the end.

I price matched Mario kart last night and stacked the $15 off preorder promo. $33.80+tax for Mario Kart and a digital game isn't bad at all.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

It worked for me yesterday. I did not buy other stuff with it though I did give the preorder card at the end as Krayzie mentioned.

I got Killzone SF for $15 and Infamous SS for $25. Thinking of going back to get AC4:BF for $23, Tomb Raider DE for $25, and/or Lego Marvel for $25.

Well, it came out last summer in Japan before anyone had a DS4, and long before they were available there. Also, I think Sony figured way more people had a spare DS3 they could use in a bedroom as a second device than had a spare DS4. You should still be able to play most PS4 games with a DS3. Honestly, I don't know if a DS4 would work as well, but I kind of doubt it - I assume it requires more power and processing to stream audio to the controller in a DS4.

I'm putting one in the back of my wife's minivan for road trips. I previously tried a small PS3 but it wouldn't work because every time you killed the ignition, you essentially pulled the plug without shutting down first.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

According to the Playstation TV website, you can use either a DS4 or a DS3.

They are flash hourly deals unfortunately, so lots of checking if you don't want to miss anything. They do show the upcoming next couple hours at least.

Went back today and got that as well but I got mine for $20-ish. Target has a coupon app called Cartwheel and there was a 20% off coupon for AC4 in it. Stacked no problem.

Also picked up Lego Marvel (PS4) for $25.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Found this over at AVS Forum and shocked that no one brought this one up.

Trade in your console games and get a minimum of a $10 gift card per game
With your pre-order of a Xbox One or Xbox 360 game.

For a limited time, trade up to 5 qualified console games in good condition and receive a minimum of a $10 Microsoft Store gift card for each game when pre-ordering an Xbox One or Xbox 360 Game in a Microsoft Store.

Limited quantities, while supplies last.
Terms and conditions apply.
See store associate for more detail.
Valid 06/08/14 until 06/15/14 or while supplies last in select Microsoft retail stores in the US. Not valid on prior orders or purchases; cannot be transferred or otherwise redeemed. Pre-orders require a minimum $10 deposit and at least one must occur in the same transaction as trade-in to receive minimum $10 value Microsoft Store gift card per trade-in. Additional gift card terms apply. Trade in must be in good working order, include all original packaging and one of the following game types: Wii, WiiU, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and/or Xbox One. Standard pre-order terms and conditions apply; see store for details. Not combinable with other offers. Microsoft reserves the right to modify or discontinue offers at any time. Limit 5 per customer.


Personally I went to Gamestop and picked up 5 $1 games and had no issues doing it. So for $21 and change I'll be getting Destiny at launch for the XB1.
Please note that this ends tomorrow, and was told that it is a limit of 5 games traded in per customer. Period. Not a matter of say going in another day for example. So you would need to say take your wife with you if you wanted to pre-order more than one game.

Yeah, the only bad thing about these guys it seems. I'm in the Chicagoland area of all places and there are hardly any to be seen. I have to go about 10 miles for my closest one but I was on the bike today so essentially planned on just going out for a ride any ways so did not matter really.
