Since it's technically being sold by Newegg, I would think so.

not sure does New Egg count for NPD? I know it only counts certain retailers

Newegg directly reports their sales to The NPD Group every month.

Even though this eBay listing isn't part of the traditional Newegg.com website, the sales are still fulfilled by Newegg's internal sales department, so they'll get recorded with the rest of the sales (from Newegg.com) just as if they were sold by the original site. And, as a result, PS4 sales here will get incorporated into the November 2014 NPD report if you buy the PS4 anytime before November 30th.


I just want to take this time to say that The NPD Group directly tracks all major USA-based online retailers. So Amazon.com, Newegg.com, TigerDirect.com, hell, even TV shopping networks like QVC.com and HSN.com go through NPD as well.

They have an extraordinarily wide net for things like this.

This looks sooooooo much more appealing than the standard $399 BF Bundle.

 

[smurfx]

so just asking, Xbox had to do this, because market reasons, Sony is doing this because?

they want to step on microsoft's throat.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

The sales tax in California makes this deal not worth it. $355 including tax + $60 for GTA V + $20 TLOU is more than the Amazon Black Friday deal.

I'll pass.

EDIT: I should note I'm having the Amazon bundle shipped to my sister in Utah tax-free, and she's driving it down here for the holidays. So $400 for the console and 2 games is better than $355.00 for just the console.

 

[Cess007]

Going really fast. Like one every few seconds. Crazy.

You're not kidding. I just reloaded and 11 more unites were sold in 30 seconds. Wtf?

 

[Nightengale]

so just asking, Xbox had to do this, because market reasons, Sony is doing this because?

Because market reasons.

 

[statham]

like clockwork

dont derail the thread bro. plenty of BF deals to go around.

yo bro, just asking,

 

[Kimosabae]

No, this is the digital version of the PS4.

holy shit!

haha

 

[mackattk]

In for one. Still want GTA v and ltou, but would rather have the games retail than digital. Might cost slightly more in the end but whatever... Still a good deal.

 

[BumRush]

what do we do about the warranty if go with this option?

Same warranty. It's fulfilled by Sony.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

so just asking, Xbox had to do this, because market reasons, Sony is doing this because?

lol

 

[GHG]

so just asking, Xbox had to do this, because market reasons, Sony is doing this because?

Because they can.

If they wanted to obliterate Microsoft in the sales race then they could do so with a price drop. But they don't really need to yet so they may as well stay profitable rather than cripple themselves financially just for a hollow victory.

 

[Nightengale]

yo bro, just asking,

Any business decision aimed at increasing sales through short term pricing adjustments are "market reasons."

 

[statham]

they want to step on microsoft's throat.

so if MS does or does not outsell Sony, this is now into play.

 

[Biker19]

Now over 2,000 PS4's sold in 1 hour! Newegg's a genius.

 

[Trust me. I'm a PhD]

No, this is the digital version of the PS4.

I understood that reference^^

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

In for one. Still want GTA v and ltou, but would rather have the games retail than digital. Might cost slightly more in the end but whatever... Still a good deal.

The bundle comes with a retail copy for GTA V

 

[FinalStageBoss]

damn they're flying. the thirst.

 

[mackattk]

The bundle comes with a retail copy for GTA V

Yeah. Digital copy of tlou though.

 

[GHG]

so if MS does or does not outsell Sony, this is now into play.

Yes it would be but its not a nationwide or worldwide price drop, its one retailers black friday deal.

You seem agitated.

 

[statham]

Because they can.

what is this then? They dropped the price to be nice?

 

[RustyNails]

PS Plus $39.99 1 year membership!

I expect lots of people will buy to re-sell for profit though.

 

[thelastcrusader]

My buddy came down with Lyme's disease of all things and has been having some lingering issues despite the antibiotics. He had to leave his job and has been pretty down.

So I saw this deal and snagged him a surprise PS4 that I know he will love. Really glad to have jumped on this price.

That's awesome man. Always take care of your friends when you can.

 

[Amentallica]

what is this then? They dropped the price to be nice?

They dropped the price because they knew you'd ask why they dropped the price.

 

[wachie]

yo bro, just asking,

it's quite clear your "just asking" wasn't just asking.

MS is still discounting significantly more, you don't need a genius to tell which company is desperate and which isn't.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

what is this then? They dropped the price to be nice?

This is a retailer drop. Newegg is doing this, not Sony.

 

[Toparaman]

so just asking, Xbox had to do this, because market reasons, Sony is doing this because?

This isn't Sony doing this. It's literally just Newegg.

 

[GHG]

what is this then? They dropped the price to be nice?

Newegg have dropped the price... Its not 329.99 everywhere...

 

[thuway]

so just asking, Xbox had to do this, because market reasons, Sony is doing this because?

What the hell man? Why.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

PS Plus $39.99 1 year membership!

I'm holding out for 29.99 but this is tempting.

 

[Nightengale]

what is this then? They dropped the price to be nice?

Don't need to be ignorant.

Regardless who dropped it, they're a business, this is a business move for a business objective.

 

[Neuromancer]

so just asking, Xbox had to do this, because market reasons, Sony is doing this because?

Sonys getting desperate too.

 

[statham]

You seem agitated.

I am, I can't understand some of your guys. Sony is doing what some of you guys are bitching about MS.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

This is a retailer drop. Newegg is doing this, not Sony.

This isn't Sony doing this. It's literally just Newegg.

Newegg have dropped the price... Its not 329.99 everywhere...

statham pls

 

[andrerobot]

Can one buy multiple times?

 

[enzo_gt]

Oh shit, this even beats the Amazon TLoU pricing error I got my PS4 for about a month ago.

Jump on this, folks.

 

[dmr87]

The thirst....goood, good.

 

[Amentallica]

I am, I can't understand some of your guys. Sony is doing what some of you guys are bitching about MS.

Are you a fucking train conductor or something?

 

[BTM]

No, this is the digital version of the PS4.

This got me good

 

[Glorified G]

I am, I can't understand some of your guys. Sony is doing what some of you guys are bitching about MS.

Someone is actually having a meldown over a fucking newegg sale. This has to be a first.

 

[Nightengale]

I am, I can't understand some of your guys. Sony is doing what some of you guys are bitching about MS.

Why are you stooping to the level of caring about "idiots" who should be ignored?

Unless they're early adopters who's annoyed.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Still $30 too expensive...

Spoiler

I kid. I wish I had access to such a deal.

 

[GHG]

I am, I can't understand some of your guys. Sony is doing what some of you guys are bitching about MS.

I've never once bitched about Microsoft dropping the price...

As for "you guys", you might want to try to validate what you are saying.

Someone please buy one of these and send it to statham's house.

 

[Radec]

Great guy here..

 

[Alex Anderson]

This was such a good deal. I'm glad they had plenty to go around so people weren't disappointed. I was reloading like a mofo and caught it right away and was concerned they might go in an instant. Who knew they had thousands of em

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Can one buy multiple times?

Ebay page says limit 3 per costumer.

 

[FeenixRising]
