While the Sonic movie was busy running rings around its box office competition last week, a mysterious triplicating pattern began to emerge across the internet among seemingly innocuous and unrelated events.

You can get a PS4 Pro on Amazon for less than $300

On the other hand, if you've got a trip of Benjamins just burning a hole in your pocket, you could always treat yourself for a soon-to be-obsolete gaming console. Amazon's currently offering the PS4 at a $100 discount, though you'd probably be better off holding onto that cash until the PS5 arrives at the end of the year.
