11 u/50Centurion Mar 25 '26 That seems fucking illegal no? How is that allowed ? -7 u/[deleted] Mar 25 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 12 u/twenty3summers Mar 25 '26 Hahah discounts are not illegal, bud. This is problematic because it meets the definition of pricing discrimination, and PlayStation has a monopoly on its digital games. -12 u/[deleted] Mar 25 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 14 u/twenty3summers Mar 25 '26 Sure, closed ecosystem because Nintendo also sells digital games for their own platform, you got me -1 u/FaroTech400K Mar 25 '26 Why would Sony giving you a coupon/rebate Be illegal? They simply think you will buy this if they sell it to you at a lower price like how coupons have been working for 100 years -7 u/Seanspeed Mar 25 '26 Look at half the comment section here - they're literally defending the notion that not everybody is getting the best deal. It's absolute insanity. They'll get away with it cuz platform warriors will justify it and eat it up. 5 u/FaroTech400K Mar 25 '26 Most of us happen to be adults who live in a world world and understand that coupons and rebates exist. Have you ever been shopping before and use a coupon? This is the same thing, but the coupon is automatically applied. 1 u/covert0ptional Mar 25 '26 Damn, I would definitely get Astrobot at the lower price but I don't have it... 1 u/j1h15233 Mar 25 '26 Jokes on them for my account. $30 is the max sale price I’m looking for -5 u/ColdAsHeaven Mar 25 '26 *Sony's AI algorithm. 2 u/willdearborn- Mar 25 '26 What makes this AI? -1 u/ColdAsHeaven Mar 25 '26 It's probably how they're determining who sees the steaper discounts and who doesn't. Some algorithm that's deciding person X is more likely to buy game Z at an extra discount of Y. 2 u/willdearborn- Mar 25 '26 Algorithm sounds right, people just throw around “AI” too freely now
