For some people the price of a new next-gen console is still a little too high. The retail price in North America for the PS4 is around the $400 mark, so it’s a nice surprise to see that retailer Kmart is offering the console for $200. Yes, that’s a two with two zeros.
Originally spotted by NeoGaf user SalvaPot, we’ve decided this is a cracking offer worth writing about. There is a catch – for the time being you may have some difficulty buying online, however, some people are having more luck by going into their local store. So, if you happen to live within a fair distance of a Kmart, and you’re in the market for a PS4, you should probably get down there ASAP.
Now, there’s another option. You could try price matching with other retailers if you’re not able to get to a Kmart store. Maybe you were banned for being drunk and naked, but that’s not our business. Often, other big stores will give you a price-match guarantee where they will match the price of a product if you can find it cheaper elsewhere, sometimes even offering gift cards as bonus extras.. Worth a shot? Probably, so check it out or pass it onto a friend if you’re not interested.
Update: Kmart is also offering the New Nintendo 3DS at a knock down price and one NeoGaf user managed to get competing retailer Walmart to price match the product. Below is the picture evidence of his claim. Nice! So, if you’re looking for a cheap console, definitely give the price-matching a go, but be prepared to ask for a manager…
