What part of the store are they at? Lol. Literally looks like a back of house area. Also anecdotal pics are meaningless. I was just at a best buy where half a stack of PS4s were gone and the Xbone was still stacked all the way up.

A pic of that is also meaningless because it is impossible to know the full story. Did they restock the xbones?

Would love to hear some retail musings from folks with access though.


Front of the store right next to women's apparel on the isle.

What are you talking about? The PS4 bundle is in Stock online.

Referring to the bundles that break out of the norm, not the ones every store has the same version of for the same price.

e.g.

PS4 bundle from Walmart that is superior to the standard $399 bundles most have

Sold out HERE

Superior XB1 bundle from Amazon
No link, but you can see it under expired deals, did not sell out.

Despite my best efforts, my son refused to switch teams and asked for a XB1. Went on Bestbuy and grabbed the Ass bundle. Then I saw the Amazon bundle.... figured I'd have no chance of landing that in time to cancel my Bestbuy order.... guess I was wrong.

If stores are selling out of PS4 bundles online, and a XB1 bundle with 4 games and a year of gold for $70 cheaper didn't sell out, I think that is VERY telling.
You sure your son is ready for some Ass?

Yeah, I bit on the Amazon XBO bundle as soon as it went up, figuring it would go fast and was surprised they didn't sell through the allotment. Ended up cancelling the order.

Would be funny if Orochi was banned until after November NPD.

Hopefully his trollish bait that derails threads is not seen until December - way past November NPD. Dude just derails threads....

I am seriously considering getting one for my cousin but just called my auntie and the kid got two C's at school. Not sure if I should reward him with a PS4 and a game like GTA V... (he's 14).

Define dumb action movie; Hard Boiled like?

hmmm never seen that movie but the stunt action is cheesy, defies logic at most times, you get your usual bollywood song and dance and some emotional drama thrown in. it is a mix but definitely watchable as a time pass movie.

Keep GTA for yourself and give him Knack for the two Cs.
 
The GTAV+TLOU bundle is actually going down in the best seller ranking. I'm so confused.

It's readily available everywhere. Having worked at retail before these holiday bundles last a lot longer than you would think. There will be stores still selling them tomorrow. When every store gets huge shipments like this it makes it hard to sell out fast. Stores are not getting just 12 each they are getting close to 50-100 or more depending on size.

That is all to say there is more than enough to go around. No one needs to rush out for these. They are available nearly everywhere and in large quantities. It's the $200 tvs tvs and laptops you gotta be first in line for.

I would totally bite on a second ps4 for our bedroom if I could get this deal in Canada. Best we've got here seems to be 469 for console plus one game.
If you have a Vita and Remote Play works in your room, you could get a PlayStation TV with a PS4 controller.

That way you can use the exact same content of the main PS4, no activations, no need to remember to sync trophies or saves to the cloud, etc.

Tiny too, so no need to create or occupy space.

Nah...he's kinda a hothead for a 14 year old and he asked for the GTA V bundle. My other cousin, 16, I got him a PS4 and the dude just straight up earns it at school.

I'll get him some PS3 games instead. Gotta earn next-gen.

Stack of PS4's on Black Friday next to a sold out Xbox One pile.
XBO has been on sale since beginning of the month. PS4s bundles barely went up. That picture means nothing. We have no context. No information on stock for whichever store this is.

So, uh, since I just bought this bundle, I should probably ask: Are the remasters good? For TLoU and GTAV, I mean?

Awww sweet you got a PS4 man. Congrats! I'll probably join the party next year when I visit DC. Consoles are WAY too expensive in my country.
 
Extremely small sample size, but I was dumb enough to be at my local Best Buy tonight when they opened at 6pm for non video game stuff, and the $329 XBox One's were flying out of there.

How do you even gauge stuff like this. Was you counting the transactions at the tills? Was you keeping an eye on the shop-floor stock quantity. ?

Yeah, I was planning to buy a PS4 all along, but this deal pushed me over the edge. Not really much in the way of PS4 originals that interest me at the moment, though. I guess I can play a functional version of The Evil Within now, and next year I'm looking forward to Arkham Knight and Bloodborne. :-3

If we go in blind and look at Amazon charts, XB1 is dominating. We should probably save the doom and gloom until at least tomorrow when it is actually Black Friday and the charts have been updated to be more relevant.

OT: Retailers need to start discounting the standalone PS4. Some people care about price and nothing else. Those people will have an easy decision to make this holiday.
