If you're willing to buy that poorly constructed headset, you might as well buy the Stealth 400. It's also poorly constructed but sounds a million times better than the Gold (Stealth uses the PS4's optical output, the Golds don't).



Not even close. XB1 deals gets you a ton of old games. PS4 deal gets you brand new games. Much better.



Every single PS4 game is a digital game. They all install fully to the HD.

Hmmm okay, I guess I'll see what the gold is going for.
 
I'm not sure if that was sarcasm or not, but I was stating that the PS4 bundle is the better deal.

I'd imagine TLOU is included in this deal as well, since it comes with every new PS4.

I was agreeing with you. The two deals aren't close. The PS4 deal smashes the XB1 deal, and I believe we'll see that reflected in how quickly they each sellout.

edit: re-reading what I wrote, I can see where it was confusing. Sorry about that.
 
TLOU isn't mentioned anywhere on the page

Maybe they had old stock of PS4s before TLOU was included. Oh well. Still a killer deal.

EDIT: I see this is a Batman bundle. I should have clicked the link. Apologies.

Gotcha.
 
If you live in the middle of nowhere, as I do, then free 2 day shipping is a godsend. Especially because I have to buy a ton of books for my grad seminars.

I do live in the middle of nowhere. But I guess I also never buy anything that I absolutely require in 2 days. Most my amazon purchases aren't even eligible for the free 2-day shipping because they're 3rd party due to Amazon's prices actually being significantly more (including most my textbooks when I was in school).
 
yeah, that was the original plan but since i saw that the bundle was separated with each thing appearing as its own charge I figured that maybe i could just send it back to them and be done with it. Oh well, still gonna flip them regardless. Thanks!

I mean.....you can try lol, it never hurts.

The other benefit of the Steath 400s is that you can run one end of the optical cable into another device(Xbox, Apple TV, Fire TV etc) and use the headsets wirelessly as well for those. Amazon has put up a bunch of Turtle Beach headsets already today, so there's a chance they'll offer the Stealths later (the 400s sound great, the 500s don't btw). But as it is now, they're already offering the 400s at 29 dollars off. If you live near Target, they'll price match it.
 
That PS4 deal is great. So far the only thing I’ve tried to buy is Battlefield Hardline for $25 and I’m currently on the waitlist. I have no clue if I’ll even get it or how long it’ll take to notify me if I do.

I'm disappointed with how few games have gone on sale so far, maybe they'll be better deals later this afternoon.
 
Totally. I wish the Xbox deal was as good because I've been looking to pick one up. If I didn't already have a PS4 I'd totally snag this bundle.

if you would sub borderlands out with something else (maybe forza horizon 2) then the deal would be comparable to the ps4 deal. Different genre of games compared to the ps4 deal, but still great games in their respective genres.
 
I have been hesitant about Bloodborne since i am not a fan of super hardcore games but i'll pick it up if it dips below $30.

Compared to some of the other gaming "deals" so far, I'm not holding my breath for sub-30.
Right at 30 should be fine though, been putting off Bloodborne way too long.
 
dont they both have problems with that though? Like the top part snapping

Yes. My Golds fell apart within a year and I treated them very well. I'd have been better with that if they sounded great. They don't. They also have a poor battery life.

I'm guessing they'll drop to about 50-55 dollars. That's as low as I've seen them directly from Amazon this year.

To be fair, the Golds aren't exactly high quality, either.

Still, you're not tethered by USB to the console, the mic is inline instead of a boom mic, you have the option to use them with a standard headphone jack. I'd go for the Golds over the Silvers.

Do the silver tether you to the console or to the controller?
 
quoting myself from other thread

also make sure you guys are using smile.amazon.com instead of amazon.com. you donate to charity everytime you buy something. there's also a chrome extension called smileanywhere that'll automatically redirect you to amazonsmile when you click to an amazon link.

Yeah. I already played BL2 and the pre-sequel doesn't interest me. I'd probably bite if it had horizon 2 and an extra controller.

I'd also be more interested if it was a lot cheaper but with the 500 gig hard drive. I'd just use it for exclusives so it wouldn't fill too fast and it would probably be reasonable to buy external memory down the road.
