Don't be surpised if that starts to happen.

For now br numbers are skewed because folks are scooping up the P/DW titles going out of print.

They got free disc in the deal and now, a few paychecks later, they will start buying.

Yes, even I'm guilty of that... bought a dozen copies of Shooter on Blu-ray...

Next week I will flood eBay for a handsome profit :-)

This amazon sale looks like it is really going to screw people over on their Nielson guesses, especially the ones going with the 3:1 or probably even the standard 2:1. :D
