You mean the two-digit price was 59 cents, and the first prize was x96? It would have to be the 5, because numbers never duplicate. It couldn't be 996.

I am bad and totally forgot about the duplicate rule. Yeah, that's right. To justify me being wrong, Season 43's first playing had another taco seasoning at 69 cents and the first prize be $X82 for a "Fitness Master Indoor Cycle".
"If any show, forget sports, Price is Right, [the audience is] the star of the show. Somebody... coming on down and losing their minds, and ... crying, that's the show. The show isn't me, the show isn't necessarily [a] can of soup, how much that is, it's watching people go bananas, and there's going to be some of that missing."

I wonder if they placed the video game package behind the door, instead of a turntable, so the audience couldn't see the 5 included games. The games alone were worth $400, yet there were several immediate shouts of "4", and unless they edited the audio, next to no shouts of 7. Drew even seemed to hesitate the reveal for a last minute change of mind, but the silence from the audience really sunk this playing.
What games average $80 each?  The 2018 versions of Madden and WWE sell for $60 at GameStop.  And they probably figured the "new" XBox (and from the look of the games, I am assuming it was an XBox One S, and not a Nintendo Switch) only cost around $180.  I wonder how many of them haven't picked up a controller since the old PS2 and don't realize how expensive these things are now.

Man, that was a waste of a Golden Road.  I was a little surprised it was lost the way it was -- they have video game packages as IUFBs all the time, and it's been ages since anything in Contestants' Row cost less than $500.

Console games in Canada have a MSRP of $79.99.

What does that have to do with a game show that tapes in California?

^ Off_trak is from Canada, so the original comment makes more sense given Shaymin's information. He forgot to do the conversion.
