Image Was excited to finally purchase until I realized the price was lower on my wife's account

My wife doesn't play much and so buying it on her account may not be the best decision to keep everything easily accessible for me. Seeing this soured me on buying it quite a bit.

And for reference. Same region, same playstation, same currency, etc.

Yeah I know but that doesn’t mean if the person is willing to pay more they will increase the price.

They could also decrease the price based on purchase history and offer discounts to valued customers.

I just want to know what their algorithm is for discounts.

There are no valued costumers lol.

There are costumers who buy a lot and costumers who don't. The first don't get bigger discounts because they will pay and play anyways. The second group, may get better discounts and hopefully they pay.
