Target To Offer $99 "Video Game Setup" Service

Target will later this month begin offering you the chance to allow somebody else to install your brand new console for you. All for the low, low price of $99!

No joke now; they'll come to your house, plug it in, set up some accounts and any relevant online stuff, then leave with your $99. Which, in some cases (Wii, Xbox 360 Arcade) , is 50% of the price you paid for the console.

wow are you kidding????i know some people are lazy but come on,another reason why i hate working at target

Best Buy has been offering this deal for a long time now with Geek Squad. Sure, it's unethical and the practice disgusts me, but if people are damn stupid enough to pay $99 to have someone connect a few cables, they deserve to be ripped off like the consumist sheep they are.

Could it BE anymore of a rip off?

wireless5239d ago

It is a good deal, I will do it. Maybe they will play a game with me for $20. I am lonely!!

fatstarr5239d ago (Edited 5239d ago )

best deal in the industry, next ill pay the sneaker man at footlocker 50 extra $ to put the laces in my shoes

* also lets screw this up. like when you see a mom buying gta4 for her 8 year old son at gamestop and the employee is just going along with it.

if i am in line and they offer this service to the person in front of me " its a f***ing ripoff u dumbass ur payin money for nothin" is what ill say

With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.

Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.

Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.

As far as I can remember, they typically give a week heads up for these sorts of things.

I was about to say Sony always gives a week in advance for their show.

VersusDMC6m ago(Edited 6m ago)

Last year it was a weeks notice.

Why would Sony have a show of any size to announce Hellblade2 coming to PS5?
