After looking at the Amazon Best-Sellers list for both America and the UK, it has occured to me that a lot more people may be buying their consoles online rather than in store, particularly the PlayStation 4.

I am interested to see if this is truly the case so I thought I would create this poll to help gather data. I bought my PlayStation 4 in store as I like to be able to easily go into the store and get things sorted should anything go wrong, however, If I had not already put my deposit down I would have bought it from Amazon for £20 cheaper. How about you?

PS4, 3DS amazon. I don't waste my time in stores and insane launch lines. I also have a grudge from lots of retail stores when they ruined DVD/BD releases. Bymoney hating bonus features. Although Amazon pissed me off when they didn't stock 3DS XL Zelda.
