Price difference

Why is BF2 for PS4 $20 and the xbox 1 version $40 at walmart? 

  • Hi @taxingpear94

    Those prices have been decided by the retailer (Walmart in this case), so I'm afraid I'm unable to answer to your question 😳

  • It's kinda funny that Walmart said it might be because of the game designer marking it up due to the xbox community being bigger, but perhaps I need to talk to a manager about that.
  • I messaged walmart.com, chatted with a nice associate. They're going to inform the higher powers of this issue, also said to send it to you guys as well. Just giving an update.

    Cheers @taxingpear94 🙂

    Like I mentioned before, there's not much we can do since a retailer should be responsible for establishing the prices in their stores, but thank you for pointing this out to us.

    Knowing retail there are 2 reasons.

    1. They have more inventory and want to move that version, and want to be able to charge more for the one with high demand.

    2. They listed it low to get people into the store. Some of those super shoppers will look for the best deals. They want them to come to Walmart instead of Target or Best Buy or Amazon.
