Aaaand Amazon US has started locking some games behind Amazon Prime. GTA5 PS4 can now only be bought directly from Amazon themselves if you have Prime.

I have student prime so I can still buy games, but that's just baffling to me. Having Prime-exclusive sales seems fine, but actually preventing someone from buying a game from Amazon itself because they don't have Prime? That would be like MS or Sony only allowing Gold or Plus members to buy digital games from the Xbox or PS Store (oh God, I hope I'm not giving them any ideas, ha).

Ratchet and Clank at #3 for April, QB dropped to #15. I have no doubts R&C will be above QB in April NPD.

Yeah I think so too. R&C will be higher in NPD judgeing by amazons sales of both.

This is really incredible if R&C, to sell more than QB in NPD, despite being a Long run franchise on Playstation, R&C, never sold in the level of God of War, Uncharted, also Quantum Break, was one of the most awaited Exclusives for Xbox One (the biggest one is Gears of War), and the Difference in the Installbase on USA, isn't so big, i think that is just 1.5-2 Millions, Xbox, and Playstation, already sold more than 10 Millions of units on USA.

we will need to wait and see, next month we have Uncharted 4, and Overwatch, i wonder how well Overwatch, will do, the game already have a Lot of pre-orders.

Prime is well worth the $100/year, for all of the benefits that you receive.

I had Prime for year and I agree if you take advantage of all those benefits, it's well over that $100 year. Hell i probably saved over $100 in just shipping cost, not including all the shows/movies i watched on Prime Video.

If you just want to take advantage of video game perks, Best Buy's Gamer Club is a way better offer. $30 for 2 years. 20% off new games, 10% off used games, 10% trade in bonus, Buy 2 get one free on used games, free release day shipping if you order online, and a few other perks. After buying 3 new games it's already paid for itself and then some. I love that.

I'm being extremely optomistic but why not?!
