Everything goes down to 63 dollars thanks to Amazon's intentionally botched promotion coding.
Has led to me placing far fewer orders this year than I would have otherwise. Can't trust that any of those games will drop in price in the future. FFXII sure didn't.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Thanks bud, Amazon it is then.

Just went through my big order like some of you did, should save 287.89$ but I calculated 267.64$ in savings. I have FFXII and World of Final Fantasy in the order, are they the culprits?

Sounds right. You'll save nothing from World of Final Fantasy instead of $12.
You'll save $6 from Final Fantasy XII instead of $14.
So there's your missing $20. The other 25 cents is probably from games that are slightly less than $79.99 that also aren't giving you 20%.
And don't count on saving any more if those $79.99 games go down in price. Your final ticket price will stay the same and your "savings" will get eaten into. (Unless they drop below $63.99 retail or something.)

Wii or PS2?

So the trick of cancelling items in Amazon orders that do not want to be cancelled through normal website is dead? I tried through the mobile app and version and I can't cancel anything...
I am scared that even if you don't need more than one game to get the 20% off, they will pull something like that again. The order I try it with right now has no promotion whatsoever and I still can't cancel a thing.

The 25x one? That would a crapload of points. Around 12,500 if I'm calculating it right.
Sea of Theives XBONE is $39,99 on amazon.ca right now, is this an error?!

PS4 is another choice.
No. That's the MSRP. Bestbuy has it as well for the same price.
they better drop PC price then.

I have a bunch of separate e3 orders on amazon, is it best to group them all up in one order or to leave it as it is?

It's a type of game that's going to have a ton of cosmetic mtx, most likely.
Only ended up getting Miku Vita and Attack on Titan PS4. I had Cold Steel 2, but I'm still only a few hours into the first one. Will probably get Psycho Pass digitally. My preorders from last year should keep me pretty well satisfied.
Also, considered cancelling my US ZTD watch preorder, but the discount pretty much is the price difference, ~$12. Might as well go for it.

So God Eater PS4 is discounted in Amazon but God Eater Vita isn't? I'm ruined.

I asked this earlier. I got conflicting reports that apparently Amazon can sometimes cancel all but one order since there's technically an "only one" rule. It's not known how common this is.

No trailer, but we used to get preorders put up on things that were barely mentioned in the past. Though I guess we won't get anything based on what's going on with 0 right now lol.

Pre-ordered:
Skyrim PS4
South Park Fractured But Whole PS4
Final Fantasy XII
Dragon Quest Builds
God of War
Still have The Last Guardian, Mass Affect Andromeda, Breath of the Wild, No Man's Sky, Final Fantasy XV, Dishonored 2, Horizon, and Final Fantasy 7R preordered from last year's E3/PSX.

You can expect that most of the $79.99 games are glitched similarly. The only reason FFXII stands out is because it was dropped in price after Monday to make the glitch readily apparent.
Of course, if those $79.99 games never drop in price you'll never know it. But then you're stuck buying them at $63.99. And benefiting from Amazon's price drops is one of the prime benefits of pre-ordering games there.
https://abload.de/img/e32016y1lxb.png
I'm not sure I follow but the total discounted price is actually 20% off right now, shouldn't it be right then?
or I have a feeling I should just remove all 79.99 games and put them separately instead.
Pre order haul is much smaller than this year (granted, I still have a lot from last year that I haven't received yet). Preordered 15 games to the tune of about $1050, and I expect to cancel at least a couple as I come to my senses.
Looking back at last years, a couple glitchy discounts and the drop to $49 is making it so I get FFXV for like $20. Can't complain about that!.

So only some of the games are glitched then. The only one I ordered that was glitched was FFXII so I reordered and asked a CSR to check if they can adjust it.

It's right... as of right now. Normally if those $79.99 games drop in price before release you'd get the lower price less 20%... but not with the way the discount is presently borked. You'll be paying $63.99 no matter what for those games unless they drop below $63.99.
Unless, of course, they're working properly. Like Zelda is (and apparently Attack on Titan is). But you'll never know whether they are or not until they drop in price. Most of the issue with this glitch has to do with how future price drops will impact how much you pay... not whether it's accurate right now.
Granted, you can always hassle CSRs to manually adjust stuff after every price drop. That could work if you like jumping through hoops.
You will know once it ships
You just contact an Amazon CSR and ask them to properly apply the promotion.
It's being localized for vita?
Where's the vita version?
Amazon only has the Japanese Vita version
I'm not sure the game is getting localised here on Vita

Ordered 11 games and sprang for priority shipping since every game was estimated a week or longer after release (lol). The total cost after discount was only 20 cents more than what I figured, so whatever. I imagine I'll be cancelling quite a few but who knows.
XB1 lol. I originally played the game on Gamecube though. Gamecube was my jam back in that gen.

I wouldn't say that necessarily.
Given the Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth precedent I can definitely see only the PS4 version getting a physical release, though.
I still expect to see God Eater on Vita via digital release.
The Vita versions of God Eater 2 and God Eater Resurrection will be digital-only in North America. It was confirmed a long time ago.

My list of games. This includes this year and the past few years with whatever was left.
Games marked with a black dot are very likely to be cancelled unless a price error or something happens.
I am going to cancel at least one of the Pokemon games. Possibly both because that is a high price for a 3DS game.
Zelda and Dragon Quest VIII have two entries each. One is at Amazon, and a cheaper one at Best Buy. I ordered through Amazon in case that one becomes cheaper, but I doubt it will for either game.

This year's haul (bolded are the ones that I know for sure I won't cancel, the rest range from kind of iffy about it to gonna cancel unless there's a big price drop or price error):
Adr1ft
Agents Of Mayhem
Attack on Titan
Battlefield 1
COD Infinite Warfare
Days Gone
Death Stranding
Detroit
Dishonored 2
Dragon Quest Builders
Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Edition
Forza Horizon 3
God of War
Gravity Rush 2
GT Sport
Hitman
Injustice 2
mafia III
No Man's Sky
Persona 5
Prey
Resident Evil 7
Skyrim PS4
Spiderman
South Park Fractured But Whole
Steep
Tekken 7
Titanfall 2
Watch Dogs 2
World of final fantasy
The ones I'm iffy about:
Death Stranding - no idea what kind of game it is. If it turns out to be a horror (a genre I generally don't like) it'll likely be cancelled.
Gravity Rush 2 - depends on how I find gravity rush 1 (have the remaster to play through right now)
Hitman - depends entirely on if they change their unlock system to be available offline.
GT sport - depends on if they add a proper GT campaign rather than the tutorial/time-trial filled "campaign" they have in the game right now.
Steep - depends on just how fun it really is (will find out via beta)
Titanfall 2 - depends on just how well received the campaign is
I have a bunch of games preordered from last year that now consist of pretty much games that I won't cancel.

I have a bunch of games preordered from last year that now consist of pretty much games that I won't cancel.
Here's my final list this year!
1st order
1x Persona 5: Take your Heart edition ( since it doesn't have a 20% off applied on it, I don't think I should have a problem with it)
2nd order
2x Battlefield 1 at 49.99 ( Amazon / PS4 ) (one for me, one for my brother-in-law)
3rd order (This is where the meat of my pre-orders is)
1x South Park: The Fractured But Whole.............( Amazon / PS4 ) • Couldn't pass on the free South Park: Stick of Truth (PS4) that comes with when the game ships
1x Dishonored 2................................................( Amazon / PS4 ) • Couldn't also pass on the free Dishonored (PS4) that also comes with when the sequel ships
1x Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.............................( Amazon / PS4 ) • After having tried the demo, I am convinced I am making the right decision.
1x Dragon Quest Builders..................................( Amazon / PS4 ) • Played the Japanese demo and loved it. Can't seriously wait for it.
1x Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age..................( Amazon / PS4 ) • Knew it was coming. I was just waiting for the right moment to make my move.
1x Days Gone..................................................( Amazon / PS4 ) • Loved the trailer, the setting and the gameplay they showed so far (different paths and all)
1x Death Stranding...........................................( Amazon / PS4 ) • A Kojima Production game... I have blind faith on this one.
1x Detroit: Become Human................................( Amazon / PS4 ) • Loved the detective/CSI part of Heavy Rain. The trailer convinced me easily.
1x God of War..................................................( Amazon / PS4 ) • Love the Viking/Nordic setting
1x Gravity Rush 2.............................................( BestBuy + Amazon in case they price match BB / PS4 ) • Just finished and platinumed the first one recently. I am hyped for this one to come out.
1x Spider-Man..................................................( Amazon / PS4 ) • Insomniac Games' name sold me on the premise of the game. Especially after Ratchet and Clank and Sunset Overdrive.
1x No Man's Sky...............................................( Amazon / PS4 ) • Missed the E3 promo last year... that and my GF loves what she saw of the game so far.
1x Pokemon Sun..............................................( Amazon / 3DS ) • Taking both games. Depending of the exclusive mons of each game, my GF will want the other one.
1x Pokemon Moon............................................( Amazon / 3DS ) • Highly inclined to play this one over the other.
Amazon... easy for me. Despite having some issues when it comes to shipping certain games, they usually come a day or two later. Even if you change your mind regarding your pre-orders, they are very easy to cancel. That and... if the retail price change by accident (which seems to have happened quite a few times with Amazon), you are elligible to the lowest pre-order price guarantee (like BestBuy).

Question guys, the only way to get Modern Warfare 1 remaster is to preorder the legacy edition of the game on PS4? I know that PS4 has a month advantage compared to the X1 version.
The damage (bolded are keepers):
Dragon Quest 8 (3DS)
Mass Effect Andromeda (PS4)
Resident Evil 7 (PS4)
Persona 5 (PS4)
For Honor (PS4)
No Man's Sky (PS4) - likely to cancel
Tokyo Mirage Sessions (Wii U)
Prey (PS4)
Days Gone (PS4)
Detroit: Become Human (PS4)
Gravity Rush 2 (PS4) - if I ever get around to the first one
FFXII HD
Death Stranding (PS4)
God of War (PS4)
Spider-Man (PS4)
Paper Mario: Color Splash (Wii U) - probably cancel
Pokemon Sun (3DS) - fuck Lunala
Watch_Dogs 2 (PS4)
And in a separate order for some reason
Attack on Titan (PS4)
Crazy amount of stuff, even with the terrible prices, hopefully something better comes along before this stuff comes out.

The funny thing is that most of these games do not release until after E3 2017.. so maybe the promo will be better next year. you guys can do this all over again
That's what people thought last year, and then Canadian price hikes and a shittier deal fucked them over.
Preorder everything now!
