I don't know where they got the info, but according to Naughty Dog pre-orders end August 7th:

I'm guessing since they have so few stock left, it's to get the final push of sales to get rid of them. And if they don't, they'll just end the sales anyway, that way there's less than 4000 in total (like they said) x

Not quite. Naughty Dog Tweeted that July 28th when the pre-order window opened.

Update:

Mondo confirms the cut-off date:

Yeah but what I mean is, they always said only an extra 1500 pre orders would be allocated (max), so the cut off date would be if all 1500 hadn't yet sold out, otherwise the pre order will close off earlier if they hit allocation x

New stock levels:

Battletoads: 1888
Banjo Kazooie: 1547
Perfect Dark: 2345

Surprised by how poorly Perfect Dark is doing tbh x

I got that. I was just confused that it was Naughty Dog that initially announced the cutoff date with Mondo not saying anything until 24 hours left before pre-orders close. Hope that cleared things up.

I'm guessing it's because despite the huge sales and superstar treatment in its extremely short time, Perfect Dark developed into a cult classic rather than a "true" classic like the others.

I think the increased interest in Banjo Kazooie due to Yuka Laylee has also driven sales of that one up. Battletoads has been very popular for years, so I'm not surprised it's out selling Perfect Dark. Regardless I have all three coming.

Also if any of you are interested, Chime 2's Kickstarter campaign is offering a soundtrack on vinyl.

Got my TLoU vinyl set in yesterday, btw, five days ahead of promised delivery time.
