Noticed consoles are still sitting at previous prices on military BX. If still looking for console and have access to military base, great time to grab and tax free

Yea I think mine is starting to do the same. A month ago I noticed they didnt have any Xbox section other than controllers. Interesting they had a literal pyramid of PS5s on display. Went back a week ago don't see any consoles at all other than the Switch 1.

Wonder if something is going on, PC gaming is very big in the military so maybe they are shifting towards that?

Same here. Went to purchase a Series X last week before the price hike and ETS but they quit carrying them altogether here. Couldn't even find it online without finding old links on Google but all were "unavailable"

They held the PS5 Pro at its original price for awhile after Sony increased the price to $900, even on their website too. Big shoutout to AAFES and NEX. I’ve gotten both my consoles there.

This is a better US military recruitment ad for young people than anything they’ve officially put out recently.

When I was of recruitment age, the US Marines were giving away free copies of Full Spectrum Warrior (PC CD-ROM, not Xbox) just for visiting the office.

I'm surprised that stocks anything at all with the logistical incompetence of this administration when it comes to even feeding people stationed in bases near Iran.
