On Saturday, June 15, retailer Target experienced a register outage at its stores across the entire United States, leaving customers stranded with no way to pay for their items.

Since it's a relatively recent console, price drops have been few and far between, but if you've been holding out on buying one in the hopes that you'll find it on the cheap, now is your chance.

If you’ve been wondering why Target hasn’t yet adopted the use of the likes of Apple Pay in its stores, you know have your answer.
