Oh, there's a reason! Everyone who bought a PS4 wound up with a copy of Knack. Bundled titles count as a sale.

Yeah I figured as much there and caught what I wrote just before you guys replied

The best selling game on the PS4 in Japan is Yakuza.

Console Warrior.

I actually would have expected both numbers to be higher given the hype for Titanfall and finally some stock availablity for PS4.

FWIW, PS4 has 8 of the top 10 spots on Amazon right now (PS3 and PC having the other 2).

But the more I think about it, the more I think Killzone will be their first retail PS Plus offering in the US rather than Knack. Better opportunity to sell DLC and a more viable "franchise".

Canadians: $30 games at Walmart


XO version of Ghosts is still listed as $60, so this is a PS4 deal only.

Be forewarned... all the sub-titles end in "eh?".

looks like WM (and matched by BB) has dropped the price (temporarily) on the bundle by $50
I'm sure they aren't doing that out of their own good will

But it was HUGE in all caps. Surely they sold out, right?

I'd be pissed if I just bought that bundle last week and it's already on sale for $50 cheaper. I wonder how long it will take for Amazon and Target to match?

Isn't there a price-match window where you're allowed to bring your receipt in and get the difference refunded?

Back on topic: Tacos!!!

Here's a cheap used slim, just happened to notice the deal. I have the super slim and it's definitely kind of cheap looking/feeling.

The more I think about that, the more I think I'd get the Super Slim, as much as I dislike it compared to the Slim.

If nothing else, you're guaranteed it's only a year or so old at most, including the controller, and you're guaranteed a pretty big hard drive (250GB or 500GB).

Agreed, that middle slim is the best, and I love mine mostly for multimedia - it's DLNA media server is a god-send, especially how it upconverts everything and can play so many types of files without a hitch.

I hear that they're eventually going to add DLNA to the PS4 through an update, but for now, nothing beats PS3 streaming.

It was $399 from Microsoft's site for a short period, and $50 off on various websites since launch. Still too rich for my blood but yeah.

Mid-slim PS3 is best slim PS3.

The exact same reason why I bought my SS from Gamestop late last year when they were running that promotion.

I've never seen the Slim in person so I can't make any comparisons to it however when compared to my Xbox 360 Elite, the SS is unbelievably way more quiet and runs cooler too. The disc slide cover does feel flimsy and cheap but I haven't had any issues with it yet. I do try to be careful when opening/closing it though just in case.
