No way is a kickstart on sales. Even wondering that is ridiculous.

It is pretty clear that someone there confused the GT5P with GT5.

The publisher is Sony and the brand is grand turimo. Amazon would be the one with the losses, no way sony would care to "kickstart sales", and amazon wouldnt care to do so, because it gains nothing from it.

I think amazon will honor tho. Unless there was a smart ass that ordered 500 copies for resale.

If the orders number is small, they might honor.

Me thinks quite a lot have ordered it! It's around a lot of forums and sites. I believe it was a mistake with the platinum release of GT5P?

I don't remember seeing the platinum there when I last searched Gran Turismo.

So spin your head around this.

3 days ago GT5 wasn't even in the top 300 on the Amazon game best sellers list, they dropped the price to £17.96 for a few hours, and GT5 shot to the top of the sales list, obviously shifting alot of units. Ever since the price went back up to £37.96, GT5 has stayed at the top of the sales list, so Amazon are clearly selling alot more £37.96 copies of GT5 than they were 3 days ago.

They've cancelled the order. Unlucky.
