Who's doing the September thread?


Shadow is. We're probably gonna have it up and running soon. (It takes a tiny bit co-ordination when you live 6 timezones apart.)

How comes until Dawn is currently out of stock? it's only been a week from it's release.

More to the point why is the digital code 4c more expensive, that's an outrage!

I think many retailers ordered a small quantity being rather risk averse with the title. It was certainly a game that had a very hit or miss vibe to it, and with the recent memory of The Order fresh in the minds of retailers they were probably leaning more towards the miss side than the hit side. Hence, low numbers of copies ordered.

This game is (I think) literally the first completely new IP AAA PS4 exclusive that has had above average reviews. I don't count Bloodborne in that because it's part of hte Souls series in everything but name. And of course so far Sony hasn't had one genuine 1st party new IP get above average reviews for PS4. (Until Dawn is 2nd/3rd party and so is Bloodborne)

My guess, understocked by Sony because they weren't confident in it's popularity.  Sold way way way more than predicted based upon public reaction.  Mr Rezpion, and one of the KindaFunnyGames guys, were pretty positive about it (I watched Rep play a great deal of it...if I had the money, I'd be buying it also).
