A customer purchased a new PlayStation 5 at Target for $444 instead of the official price of $650.

A Reddit user named Express-Towel-1805 reported a successful purchase of a new PlayStation 5 console at a price significantly below the current market value. According to the user, the sealed device cost him approximately $430, even though the official US suggested retail price for the standard disc-based PlayStation 5 model, following the April 2026 price increase, is $649.99. As proof of purchase, the buyer included a paper receipt from a Target store in Kings Plaza, Brooklyn.

According to the packaging and receipt, the gamer purchased a special PlayStation 5 Fortnite Flowering Chaos Bundle with disc drive, which was released in late 2025 at a promotional price of $449.99. The receipt lists the base price of the console as $399.99, plus a $7.99 service fee and $36.21 sales tax, for a total of $444.19. The bundle includes the console itself with a 1 TB drive, a DualSense wireless controller, 1,000 V-Bucks, and a set of eight exclusive Fortnite cosmetic items.

Commenters on the post speculated that the box might have been opened or refurbished, as such bundles have long since disappeared from retail, and standard versions of the console cost around $650. However, the author of the post clarified that the console was brand new and sealed, and the voucher for in-game bonuses inside was unactivated. Apparently, the single unit had been lost in the store’s warehouse since last year, and retail employees sold it at the old discounted price without adjusting it to Sony’s new price.
