Current Events > lolwut, Best Buy has 2 different prices for the same USB cable >_>

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was looking for one for my phone and found a 10' insignia micro usb cable for $25. That was kinda pricey.

But then I went to the game section and found a 10' insignia micro usb cable "for Playstation 4" for $13 >_>

I compared the boxes and it's literally the same cable, but the one labeled for phones is literally double the price for no reason lol

So uh, if you want a cheaper micro usb, get the ps4 version I guess

I have my own data cable at home. This is just strictly for charging for my car.

I'm 90% sure this is the same cable though >_> They're just price gouging phone people cuz they know gamers are cheap lol

Yea this is common. More people are likely to need a replacement phone cable than gaming cable. they'll sell more at $25...I guess theoretically they could also just price the gaming ones at $25 but since fewer will go there specifically for that they price it competitively.
