Its 19th spot atm on the hourly list, and when I click on it, it says "64 copies, new and used" and then you can "order" from 3rd party sellers, or private owners of games selling them through amazon.

Its not amazon itself doing it right? to me I assume that means its "out of stock" on amazon.

I rather buy "new" from amazon themselves, than some random Joe Bob,
that swears its "new" and will ship it too you if you send him money.

You're right.  If you look closely at the entries for both the PS4 and GOW, Amazon themselves is eating the cost above MSRP ($5 for GOW, $20 for PS4, both say temporary), that tells me that they are getting their asses handed from pretty much all other retailers who have both in stock at normal prices being shipped by their internal stores.

Amazon has that bad relationship with Sony or what? Seems very odd that Amazon eats a bit of the cost? or is that standard procedure when a popular product is readily availible elsewhere but not on their site?
