After PS4 Fraud, Wal-Mart Changes Price-Match Policy

Will PlayStation price match?

No, the PlayStation Store does not have a formal price-matching policy for games and content from other retailers, nor does it automatically refund price differences if a purchased game goes on sale shortly after your purchase, but some users have successfully received price adjustments by contacting PlayStation Support directly. While Sony's physical store (ShopTo/Sony Direct) offers price matching for hardware, the digital PlayStation Store itself doesn't generally match external prices for games, so your best bet for a refund on a price drop is to politely ask PlayStation Support.
