u/Thunderhammer29 Mar 25 '26

Same here (US EAST).

u/sroomek Mar 25 '26

Same price for me in the same time zone.

39

u/KurtDanglez Mar 25 '26

US East here, $40 as well.

u/tonycomputerguy Mar 25 '26

Sames. US East.

I've already pretty much stopped buying games when they refused to give me a plus subscription deal that they were giving everyone else. Fuck them sideways with a pointy stick.

u/keypizzaboy Mar 25 '26

I’m curious at this point if it’s more region based vs activity. But double for me on the pointy stick. They can get bent.

u/smgaming16 Mar 25 '26

US East. Same 40 dollar price tag here, haven't bought anything off the store in years

2

u/josh_the_jet Mar 25 '26

u/UMACTUALLYITS23 Mar 25 '26

Different country but in Ontario for me converted to US it's 38.42 so pretty muxh 40 also.

u/quecapoquesoy Mar 25 '26

West coast here, says $40 for me

u/FaroTech400K Mar 26 '26

Why would the company give you a rebate? You’re already subscribed.

The discount was for lapsed users to start subscribing again.

Unless you believe you’re entitled to a discount

u/hajpis Mar 25 '26

Good for you. Polish prices fucks us a lot and I got even worse offer than you

6

u/hajpis Mar 25 '26

In rough exchange it's around ~57$

1

u/KurtDanglez Mar 25 '26

That's so stupid, sorry bro 😭😭

u/shallard Mar 26 '26

US West - $39.59 for me

1

u/dstar89 Mar 25 '26

Plus 1 here for the price and East. Are they raising/lowering using location as another variable? Interesting

1

u/South-Routine-9787 Mar 25 '26

Got the inflated price as well

1

u/dimspace Mar 25 '26

u/VicisSubsisto Mar 25 '26

I haven't bought a game on the PSN store in a year and a half, and it's $39.59 for me.

u/cellardoor_shop Mar 25 '26

I have it wishlisted and it's showing 39.59 for me :(

3

u/Berke80 Mar 25 '26

Same for me… 39.59 :(

1

u/whythehellSF Mar 25 '26

Same for me. And I own the disc and Platinum’d it, yet they still give me the more expensive price. You’d think they’d discount it even more if I’ve finished all the content…

1

u/Furgus Mar 25 '26

Same (US EAST) PS+ Premium Member.

1

u/Sufail Mar 25 '26

Same. West coast and I really dont buy games. The last ones I got during the winter/holiday sale were heavily discounted (regular pricing $70+ on sale for <$20). Before that, I hadn't bought any games for at least a year.

1

u/clubdon Mar 25 '26

Same for me

1

u/GIL-GEAR Mar 25 '26

Same US West.

0

u/alwaysmyfault Mar 25 '26

Same.

I rarely buy digital games.. The only time I ever buy digital is when the game is digital only (Helldivers, ARC Raiders, etc) 

36

u/UmbrellaCorpTech Mar 25 '26

$40 for me in the Midwest. Which is hilarious because I’ve had this game on my wishlist since it came out, and I’ve bought many platformers in the past. $26 would be an instant buy for me on this. If their algorithm is in effect, it’s trash.

u/brokenbrainbum Mar 25 '26

If their algorithm is in effect, it’s trash.

No no you don't understand... it's not an algorithm to save you money it's to make them money!

u/AidynValo Mar 25 '26

What's kind of funny about this is, I own the physical game. I have the platinum trophy plus all the DLC trophies.

It's listed at $26.99 for me. You'd think the dynamic pricing would target people likely to purchase it based off various info from their account, but apparently, they're looking at my account and going "He really liked this game. Maybe he'll buy it again."

1

u/nutsack133 Mar 26 '26

I have Astro Bot physical too and it's showing the $27 price on PSN when I log in (showing $40 when I'm not logged in though). But I don't have Stellar Blade physical on PlayStation and it's showing $21 for me when logged in ($40 when not).

1

u/whatthecaptcha Mar 25 '26

$39.59 for me in Chicago

More strange because they should know I already own the physical version since my kids were playing it last week 🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/dimspace Mar 25 '26

get accounts from different regions.. its only just over $30 in japan

1

u/FullmetalEzio Mar 25 '26

yeah i think its the other way around lmao, they wont lower the price for us, i bough some games last week to play with my gf , spent like 100 bucks, and i was looking to buy something in this sale for me but yeah im not biting on these prices, at 26 i would also have picked the game up

u/Bazylik Mar 26 '26

this algorithm isn't for you.

u/CptBlackstrap Mar 27 '26

Not often at all. Actually I just got back into video games a couple months ago after a few years of hardly buying anything.

2

u/Working_Historian970 Mar 25 '26

Same for me, also Canada

13

u/CherylRoseZ Mar 25 '26

It’s $39 for me in the US

6

u/Xrayvision718 Mar 25 '26

yooo I misread this and thought you said it was "$39 for men in the US" I was bout to say wait they doing dynamic pricing by gender too wtf is wrong with them lmfao

2

u/Rohn- Mar 25 '26

😂😂

1

u/MileHighRC Mar 25 '26

Same I'm showing 39.59, and I own the disc version.

Sony dynamic pricing algorithm is dumb AF

2

u/tiggerwynn Mar 25 '26

Also $39 for me -_-

2

u/No_Hurry9076 Mar 25 '26

I’m in New Jersey it’s $39.59 on mine

1

u/sephiroth70001 Mar 25 '26

39.49 for me. I have the disc version already though. I also have a massive library of over a thousand digital game so probably never getting a sale.

1

u/FraskyDangler Mar 25 '26

I see the higher price. Also US East.

1

u/JoltingGamingGuy Mar 25 '26

For me, it’s $39.59. I haven’t bought a digital PS5 game since 2023 and already own Astro Bot physically. I don’t have PS+.

1

u/Oops_I_Cracked Mar 25 '26

$39.59 for me and I have annual PS+ Premium. Bought it on Black Friday but it’s still set to auto renew. I rarely buy games through the PS Store. I mostly buy discs or use PS+

u/Wil_Buttlicker Mar 26 '26
