Bizarre Target 'Deal' Lists Game At Higher Price

gamerant.com:

A Reddit user has discovered a bizarre 'deal' at Target for the Nintendo Switch version of Sonic Superstars. This so-called 'deal' is sure to turn the heads of a lot of fans interested in Sonic Superstars, but not in a good way.

In the world of gaming, there are almost always great deals that are worth keeping an eye on nearly every single week. Just recently, for instance, games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Dead Space Remake, and the Granblue Fantasy: Relink Deluxe Edition all received significant discounts on Amazon that may not be worth missing out on. However, there's one 'deal' that was just spotted at Target that fans will likely want to avoid at all costs.

A Redditor that goes by the name Uncharteredfugazis posted a photo of a questionable 'deal' they found at Target for Sonic Superstars on the Switch. The decently-reviewed 2023 2D platformer, which normally retails at $59.99 USD at full price, wasn't even on discount. On the contrary, the 'deal' Target was offering for the game somehow made it more expensive. Instead of costing $60, the game now costs $79.99, making it $20 more expensive than what it should be. How this 'deal' was even listed in the first place is anyone's guess but, at the very least, it does make for a funny conversation piece.

Reddit user kadosho, for instance, commented on the post and expressed dismay at the unusually high price for this game. «That is um… yikes. Wait, isn't there a sale of buy 2, get 1 free also going on? But this price tag. What happened?» Commenter dumpling321, on the other hand, pointed out that they'd seen people talking about another occurrence like this «in another sub somewhere else.» They claimed that the reason why this shockingly high price tag exists is because of «a computer error that's been happening at a bunch of Targets.» Meanwhile, other Redditors mentioned how they recently nabbed Sonic Superstars for much lower than the standard retail price at other storefronts, like Walmart. This makes the $80
