In a rather clever promotion, jewelry retailer Helzberg is offering customers a free PS5 console with a purchase worth $1,799 or more. Not only is the timing here perfect (you know, with the holiday approaching), the thought process behind the deal is on point: put a ring on it (or just get a nice necklace) and your spouse won’t mind that you just snagged a console.
Jewelry store’s free PS5 offer leaves players amused
We jest, but Helzberg knows exactly what it’s doing, and this is a pretty good deal for those who were planning to make a purchase anyway. The offer has gone viral on multiple gaming forums, and the responses don’t disappoint.
“Now you don’t have to choose between love or a PS5,” reads one comment. “Propose to her in the morning and be online playing NCAA that night,” wrote another.
Others offered more serious thoughts. “Just goes to show how crazy the markups are on jewelry,” said one. “I was actually planning on buying an engagement ring tomorrow and I love a good deal,” said another.
If you’re actually planning to avail the offer, it’s available in-store only at Helzberg. Those who already have a PS5 but are in the market for some jewelry can always sell the free console and recoup some of the cost of jewelry.
