Yikes, it was just a light-hearted joke.

Anyway, it looks like the two Uncharted bundles are siphoning sales from each other. I bet the slim is performing better at retailers with a base $299 price point for all 3 skus. It's nice to see that Walmart.com is finally actually selling it, until a few days ago they had it listed as shipping December 31st.

The next time you put "Scorpio Spec Sheet" on this list, you're getting a ban. Several people have politely asked you to stop already, and it's become more trolling than a joke at this point. Knock it off.

I will remove it then. I must say though, for a request from a user who was just having fun and meant no mallice, the tone of this requests seem a little out of step. A smattering of passivity would have gone a long way (-:

I'm glad that joke has come to an end.

How is the fool's edition ps4 still in the top 100 when the Slim is the same price and the COD and Uncharted 4 LE bundles are cheaper?

Because it's called the 'Fools' Edition.

My honest answer is I think part of Amazons algorithm for the charts is based simply on the process of pressing 'buy'. With the PS4 providing a link to the better bundles, my guess is it takes some of the success of the other bundles by virtue of having a link. There's always those customers who just know what a PS4 looks like and will simply hit that pic to check out the price.

^ just wanted to say I really enjoy this bit at the buttom of it all. It makes it rather easy to get a quick & dirty idea of how things are selling.

Do you think I should reverse it though and start with '0 out of 10'?

I like its current format, and doing it in 10's would be much more work.
