I will float a theory. You can't order the console.

What you can do is cick "email me" or "add to list".

What are the odds that either of those options have the ability to manipulate the standings. If enough people choose "email me" on an item is sold out - perhaps they consider that.

No idea but there's no doubt these charts are currently wrong. I'd argued that perhaps Amazon have been told to take preorders anyway because Nintendo have promised to supply what they need come launch but Amazon don't even know if they're getting any more.

Someone using a tracker nowinstock.net said it was in stock at 435am at amazon and was sold out again by 440am given they haven't confirmed me if it was Switch or the Zelda Switch Legendary thing. So if either spiked that was because of that.

Switch continues to meet Nintendo's expectations! Hopefully more stock comes by February! I love its amount of games charting as well!

So I've never played Kingdom Hearts, I am planning on picking up the 1.5 and 2.5. Is 2.8 a separate game or an expansion?

It is an expansion to Birth by Sleep (found in 1.5), and a game on the 3ds called "Dream Drop Distance".

So it is like both 1.5 and 2.5 - just with a weird number due to the fact KH3 still hasn't come out.

So should I just get 2.8 then? Shit is confusing lol.

It is confusing yes. We shall start from the top.

1.5 is Kingdom hearts 1, Chains of Memories, and the movie version of 358/2. Two games - one movie.

2.5 Is Kingdom hearts 2, Birth by Sleep, and the movie version of KH re:Coded. Two games one movie.

2.8 is Dream Drop distance,  a short epilogue to Birth by Sleep, and X Back cover - A new movie about the series. Two games one movie.

If it is easier consider them in letter form. A B and C.

In total it is 6 games and 3 movies totally pretty much all of kingdom heart all the way from the ps2 and including all handhelds etc.

Alright so I'd need to get both to get the full experience.

Yes. KH 1 and 2 are the big ones. they started it all. Dream Drop distance has a direct connection(if I recall correctly) to KH 3 so you need to get around to the eventually.

Birth by Sleep is actually a prequel that explains how everything gets started.  You need at least 1.5 and 2.5 to get the impact of what is going on. Plus they are really fun.

Thanks for your help.

2.8 is at 13. Close to getting back into the top 10 after this Switch thing happened and postponed its rite at #1.

Huh, if that is what's happening that could explain it. Still unusual.
