Side note... Fallout 4 is going to destroy Rise of the Tomb Raider in sales. I think it was cool for them to attach each other, but I think launching a week after could have done wonders. Ultimately, when you have two games launch the same day, they are going to run interference on each other but in this case, Tomb Raider is going to be utterly eclipsed.

Maybe people will come back to it later, but at this point, I see some early markdowns coming for it already if it doesn't move.


If Tomb Raider gets marked down on the Xbox One, do you think it will lower the  PS4 $60 preorder cost?

What's with the Destiny bundle tease. The direct from Amazon listing wasn't available, now it's back on with a 26 Oct back order. But still the bundle page itself says there's a newer version available which links to the NDC bundle.

Halo 5 finally in clear first place on hourlies. But not knocking on the top 10. Interesting time coming up. There's just over 5 hrs to run for people to order it and receive it the day it comes out. But of course with the bundle shipping 7 days before release it isn't as big of a deadline as it would otherwise be. 25th should be a peak day with it being the final day to order xb one and receive it the day the game goes live.

Sony once again playing the pretending exclusive card.

Yep, isn't it a fantastic strategy. Works every time. MS should take a leaf out of Sony's book and get some marketing deals too ...

I know, it's like the reverse of last gen.

I'm sure when MS market Tombraider and Fallout 4 they'll make sure to mention it's also coming to the PS4.

You've got to laugh at the Crapgamer crowd ;)

I can't say. But, maybe? Maybe they'll trade off a full retail cost and make it cheaper for PS4 owners to try and keep the series going.

Lol I know, and I'm sure Dark Feanor will gladly point out MS playing the "pretending" exclusive card.

Oh, I'm sure there will be something slightly different with the way MS do it. Or they'll go for the 'well Sony did it' or 'If that had been Sony, you guys would have no problem with it.' I love the way these people instigate the argument and then instantly turn it around when PS4 fans point out the hypocrisy.
