I dont remember ever asking you this b4? is my memory that bad? sure it was me?

I just saw the ps plus 50% and got alittle to excited, should of clicked that you have to purchase the ps4 along with it

Also it threw me off because all of the other deals are in the "bundle+ the extras + the price" format

Yeah, sorry, I was having a 'senior' moment.

Get out of my pool ya whipper-snapper!

I see the Gears bundle is listed for $327 from 3rd parties "fulfillment by Amazon". There are a particularly large number of 3rd parties "fulfillment by Amazon" selling for between $327 and $335. Are these people who bought a whole bunch of Gears bundles for $299 during BF and then immediately re-listed them for sale to make a quick $25-$30 profit? If you add in the number of 3rd parties selling this bundle below $249 it's 7 1/2 pages of 3rd party sellers or about 75 (re?)sellers.

I don't want to go all flamey with suggesting a large number of Xb one's were sold to re-sellers on BF. But if you compare 75 (re?)sellers "fulfullment by Amazon" with prices up to $22 cheaper than the current MSRP, to cheapest NDC 3rd party sellers are $343, only 6 of them and none are "fulfullment by Amazon". There's something curious going on here.

For all consoles that have a very short term price cut I guess you're going to get people who buy low and then re-sell with a modest margin. But the difference with the PS4 and Xb one listings is quite notable. But maybe that's because NDC and SWBF are going to be back at $299 in a couple of days, so the re-sellers of PS4 are perhaps biding their time for now?

Why is Wii U more or less back to full price? Is that just Amazon or is it everywhere. Has Nintendo not increased production to meet a sustained increase in demand? That would be really unfortunate for Nintendo if they knew the demand was there but it is unable to supply it. Another mis-step by them in a generation that has been full of mis-steps?
