Well I finally bought a
PlayStation Classic today. Initially I
had pre-ordered one back in the fall, but as the negative reviews started
pouring in I decided to cancel it. Then
something happened that I did not expect so early; a price drop. Here was mighty Sony in 2018-2019, reducing
the price of their newly released retro console so early. As time went on and the PS classic kept going
lower and lower, I kept waiting because the consoles were still collecting dust
on store shelves (literally). Until
today I woke up to news that it finally reached the price of $19.99 Canadian, a
price I obliviously couldn’t pass on.
Staples (formerly RadioShack) had them on sale for $19.99 and I was able
to price match it at Walmart. It turns
out I chose the right time to buy because the PS classic suddenly became the
hottest item to buy (after price matching at Best Buy and Walmart), causing it
to be sold out in most stores.
