I've seen them on TV and in the cinema in the UK. During football on TV and before the new maze runner at cinema, both were Uncharted adverts which had the bundle for £299 at the end.

Last night I saw the Uncharted ad again and no price mention

SCEE are definitely better at marketing/promoting than SCEA. They do more bundles, advertise better, aggressively price better. I never understood what SCEA's problem is.

I'll take over the updates! (Legend was doing a bad job anyway )

PS4

SW Battlefront LE: 14 (+6)
TLOU: 16 (+4)
Uncharted: 24 (+1)
Destiny TKK LE: 34 (+3)
COD LE 1TB: 43 (+9)
SW Battlefront: 64 (+9)
Standard 500GB: 139 (+21)
Batman LE: 290
Batman: 298

XB1

Halo LE 1TB: 35 (-2)
Gears Ultimate Edition: 92 (+16)
Forza 6 LE 1TB: 95
Madden NFL 16 1TB: 104 (-2)
MCC 1TB: 150
MCC: 179
Fifa 16 1TB: 191 (-4)
Fallout 4: 207 (+39)
AC Unity: 216

I decided to track the top 9 bundles for each, not just random ones like Legend did, and I put them in rank order so its easy to judge them.

But are you sure you found every single bundle? There are a lot of them on Amazon!

Nice changes though! Was just about to do this haha.


Every single PS4 bundle increased a bit. Guess the price cut effects are already settling down.

I updated my post a bit so it is even betterer! Yep, I used the PS4 and XB1 console only ranks and then clicked on them to check their overall video game rank.

The thing is, there are an abundance of bundles and it doesn't seem like any one of them is particularly dominant right now. The Battlefront and COD bundles will go back up closer to release. It's also Sunday. A lot of people already blew their Friday checks.

Yeah it's not like I expect the PS4 bundles to keep dropping.

Sony needs to market the cut though!

I'm guessing they'll market aggressively around Halo launch

Right now I see tons of Uncharted Collection ads on TV, yet none of them end with a mention of the price cut. Would be so simple to just plop it on the end but nope.

FIFA 16 CAN'T STOP SCORING

12/Oct/2015
'FIFA 16' (-59%) scores a hat-trick at No1 this week as its unbroken reign at the top of the chart continues.

It's now halfway to matching its predecessor's six week unbroken run at the top in 2014. New entry 'Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection' has to settle for second place despite becoming the 8th biggest PS4 launch of the year so far. It also misses out on joining the recent trend for re-mastered/re-released titles to debut at No1 (such as Destiny: The Taken King, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and Rare Replay).
'Destiny: The Taken King' (-35%) in fact manages to climb one place to No3, ahead of 'Lego Dimensions' (-68%) which slips two places to No4 in its second week of release. 'Forza Motorsport 6' (-41%) stalls, stuck at No5 for a second week, while 'Grand Theft Auto V' (-6%) speeds back up the chart from No9 to No6 – its highest position for 6 weeks.
'Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer' (-55%) and 'Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain' (-41%) both drop one place to No's 7 and 8 respectively. 'NBA 2K16' (-77%) remains in the Top 10, falling to No9, after launching strongly last week at No3. Released on Tuesday, 'Rock Band 4' developed by Harmoix and published by Mad Catz, brings the music controller style video game back to the Top 10, debuting at No10. The only other new entry to make the Top 40 this week is Activision Blizzard's 'Transformers Devastation' at No21.

Uncharted couldn't beat Fifa even on PS4

Expected but
