$170 base price is a bit odd. Chromecast Ultra is $60, which means they are selling the controller for $110? For comparison, you can get an Xbox or PS controller for ~$60.



Where do you see $170 base price? It's $130 and includes

Ultra - $60 Controller - $60-70? 3 month Pro Subscription - $30 3 month Pro Sub for a Friend - $30 Destiny 2 Complete Edition - ~$100

So even without taking the game in account you're saving 30% of MSRP


Never mind, I was on the Canadian site for some reason. $130 is more reasonable, but I would still have expected them to sell the hardware at a discount to get more monthly subscribers.

Also, you don't get to own Destiny 2, just play it while you have the pro subscription (i.e. similar to Xbox Live Gold benefits).


You are getting the hardware at a discount, and besides this is just the founders edition, you won't need a chromecast ultra to use Stadia in 2020. You'll just need Chrome.
