It’s not the same situation, but most video games I will wait a year or two to purchase. $70 day one, or $20 on Black Friday a year from now with all the DLC included?

It's extremely rare for inflation/deflation to reach double-digits. Would you actually wait if the price a year from now was $67 (and no extra content)?

Definitely not. It’s the reason I don’t wait to buy new Nintendo games because you have to wait a long time for a sale and it’s usually only $10.
