I think its not for promotion but sort of investment. BTC prices low now, if they rise to $800 then they already would have made lot of profit.

That a good price. But they just put out a article about they don't see why everyone is buying ps4's. Well this is one reason alot of the internet currency is bitcoins now. So alot of them are gonna be sold. Either way its a good way to boost sales.

i think bringing more attention to these exclusive deals will help us draw in more users.. so if you have an SD account, please thumb it up.. or buy it if you are looking for a good deal on a PS4.

Is this offer still available?
Thanks,
Thanks,
Doesn't look like it. Yesterday, there was a banner saying that using the code BCPS410 would get you a $80 discount if you use Bitcoin. It isn't there anymore. Here's the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16868110114

This is really cool! Sadly I just bought a PS4, maybe I should donate my PS4 to a family member and get another with this deal.
I wonder what Bitcoin only Holiday deals we will get this year, maybe we some bitcoin only Black friday deals

Does anybody know if they ship in Europe and if the bitcoin payments are avaiable for people outside America?

17% discount when comparing to Amazon. Didn't know the profit margin for retail store is this high.
That's assuming that they are making a profit on this deal. Could be a loss leader, or maybe they just see the future potential of Bitcoin.
August 20, 2014, 01:40:42 PM
that is a very good deal, with 80 dollars off.

Sure it's good news that companies are doing this, but who wants to spend their coins at current value. They're worth around $100 less than what they were a week ago and much more if you go further back, so a little discount isnt going to sway me at the moment.
Consumers can buy bitcoin at market value and then buy the ps4 at huge discount. This has nothing to do with hoarding and investing and hoping for higher price.
Precisely, using it as a currency instead of an investment tool.

I think this is what would be known as a loss leader.
Quote
A loss leader (also leader) is a pricing strategy where a product is sold at a price below its market cost to stimulate other sales of more profitable goods or services. With this sales promotion—marketing strategy, a "leader" is used as a related term and can mean any popular article, i.e., one sold at a normal price.

I live in Canada. Unfortunately, newegg.ca doesn't offer bitcoin payments for now. Is this promo still available to me?

Doesn't have to be down to hoarding, but you could go buy $320 of coins and by the time you get them and try complete the purchase for the PS3 those coins are worth $300 and you're short and lost money. This is the problem for consumers but with merchants they just get the fixed price in fiat.

it is very nice that they are doing deals like this. hopefully that motiviates some people to look into it
more deals and sales will be required to interest ppl enough. one thing that always gets ppl is saving money!

That's pretty swank. I'm so conflicted because I don't like consoles that much.
August 20, 2014, 06:54:57 AM
That's great. I think vendors are starting to realize the benefits of bitcoin over credit cards and traditional payment processors...
August 20, 2014, 06:51:55 AM
Awesome deal! I love it when you get a discount by paying with BTC - it's like being rewarded for something that you want to do anyway
