TLoU bundle and Destiny TTK bundle new stock delayed until the 30th.

I think that's going to cost Sony the month.

Dude you give Amazon too much importance. It's in stock at plenty of other places-

I understand we use Amazon as a gauge and it's been correct, but you can't use it to 100% gauge something as fact when other retailers don't match up with it. Retailers that have a bigger data for NPD.

Also as you can see the Ucharted bundle is taking it's place for sales. Even at BB it's number 1 on their charts. Took back over the Halo bundle just after 2 days. Amazon is fun to use but it's not the whole story.
