no,you'll have to not spin "spending money" as "wasting money".

implying that its fucked whatever happens, so why waste the money.

you were trolling, the thread was locked.  simple.

But yes, paying hundreds of people and theif transportation to drive from store to store to convert old stock into a bundle that was never intended to be a bundle is wasting resources. Simple. The reason it was locked was because the mod thought it was hard to believe. As in, he doesnt think old stock was converted. Thats why I cant mention the MS rep if i reopened it. #dealwithit

This is usually done over here (at least within the Metro group) by recalling stock to a central warehouse (within the usual supply shipments of "stuff", repacking the stock into new bundles and redistribute it again. Happened several times per year over the last years with all brands of consoles. Doing it with a travelling salesmen group is another way of doing it (particularly if it consists of only slapping a cardboard on it). That doesn't surprise me at all and I'd say you simply reported a fact which isn't worth discussing let alone denying it happens.

3 Days available at Amazon and Best Buy and many other places with bundles...

http://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-video-games/zgbs/videogames/ref=sv_vg_11

And now its only 2 position ahead the 499 Titanfall bundle.

And, if you check GameStop pick-up you will find PS4 in every store for every major City in America.

Are we done with "shortages" yet?

Is the console readily available at every retailer in the US (without some ridiculous bundle that takes advantage of the demand and short supply)? No.

Is the console readily available at every retailer outside of the US? Not even close.

So no, we aren't done with "shortages" yet. Man, I have never seen a person so obviously hurt by a consoles success, let it go already.



Well I nipped into my local ASDA store tonight for some essentials. Took a look in the entertainment section.

They did have some PS4s in stock, but only with Battlefield 4 (no other bundles or solus available). Also noticed they've once again completely stopped selling Wii U and Vita software :/



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

The Titanfall bundle is 450 on Amazon, you've just got to use a promo code, thats why it has moved up.

It's $450 at Walmart too.  I hope people realize how bad that is...

Go to Amazon, add to cart, when you get to enter a promo code, enter XIAMAZON, goes to 450. Don't know who you are trying to fool. Give it a rest Dark_Feanor.

They are giving their biggest game yet away free!!!  They should be flying off the shelves, not narrowly beating the PS4 1 week...



Judging only by Amazon (which is not a perfect stat tool, but still), Sony really focused on US/UK markets.

But even in UK, there are only like 634 Infamous bundles left now...I would hurry I was you living in UK...

- Amazon.fr just has pre-ordersof Watch dogs bundles available in 2 months (Infamous bundles were sold out very fast), 488€ standalone edition available at resellers.
- Amazon.de sold out, you can still buy standalone edition PS4 for 489€ at resellers...

- Amazon.co.jp (Japan) sold out. Well, surprisingly yes.

Apparently spanish and italy Amazons have PS4 available:
- Amazon.es has still Infamous bundles (but we don't know how many, they block at 20 max), Amazon.it has standalone PS4.
