[BigJonsson]

Guys, they're advertising 30%. Just give them time to correct things.

I think they meant 30% off full price, not the already discounted prices (15%?)

 

[puffyshirt]

Amazon deal is still working for me, but, I'm not getting the discount for The Division? Anybody else have that issue?

The Division isn't part of the deal, for whatever reason. Make sure each game lists the promotion on its product page.

 

[licktheenvelope]

yeah, but they're advertising it as 30% off. So....they can't just give 15%

Well technically they have 1 discount on most games before the discount of about 15%, then at checkout it's another 15. But up until 10 mins ago it was 15% before + 30% @ checkout.

Right, that's what it should be showing for everyone. I made about 4 orders, and it did this. Now it isn't showing that second line of discount. Probably just a bug, I'm sure it'll get fixed soon.

 

[Returners]

I have a feeling that the shown price is already 15% off.

And adding three of them to cart applies the extra 15%.

Hence 30% in total.

 

[UberTag]

We had a nice dream of $42 games for a little while there.

 

[puffyshirt]

I've never gotten that discount, I did the math on each of my orders to make sure. If someone managed to snake 45% off, good for them.

*sigh*... Ya I went to add 1 game and it went away.

 

[Seik]

There's plenty of games missing and others with which the sale just doesn't work on Amazon.

What a disorganized mess this is.

ohhhhhhh shit. that's exactly what it is. You're right.

 

[mamoui]

Guys, they're advertising 30%. Just give them time to correct things.

They do 30% on the 70$ price.

 

[frequency]

The games I am looking at are not 15% off. It is just regular price and only 15% off at check out.

 

[krae_man]

I can't get Amazon to work either. Also worried about "Group my order into as few shipments as possible".

 

[puffyshirt]

All I can do is pray they honor the orders that we all made already.

 

[Riedinizzo]

yeah I think if you didn't get in this morning, you missed out on what was basically 45% off $70

 

[Deleted member 126221]

What? Argh, why did I have to hesitate for a few minutes...

Even if they assume the base price is already "15% off" and they add another "15% off" at checkout, that's still false advertising and pretty misleading...

 

[-Deimos]

Amazon doesn't have PC versions of most games either. wtf.

 

[licktheenvelope]

I've never gotten that discount, I did the math on each of my orders to make sure. If someone managed to snake 45% off, good for them.

No what i'm saying is that the listed price of $59.95 for some games is 15% off, then they were adding another 30% off.

Ie. if a game is $69.99, 30% off is $21 = $48.99 cost

The discount that they were doing (before the change) was 30% off $59.95 = $42 cost

It's not 45% off, but 30% off $59.95 was more like 40% off the retail price of $69.99, hence why it was showing up as less than Best Buy.

 

[Tagg9]

Fuck. I think you guys are right. I can't believe I only ordered 3 games from Amazon...

 

[Yasumi]

Goddamn it. Shouldn't have held out on PQ.

 

[puffyshirt]

I'm damn lucky I snuck 18 games in there. Come on Amazon, honor your mistakes!

 

[rinse82]

How many interns are going to get the reamed out over $279 Xbox One's I wonder?

Totally not expecting to get my order but if I do...lol

 

[Seik]

:lol

Fuck it. They don't even have FFXV and X, ffs.

 

[zroid]

ahhh I see what happened...

I didn't pick up on the fact that some games were lower than MSRP because they had taken the first 15% off already

 

[Returners]

At least Amazon corrected their mistakes quickly, unlike Lenovo. lol

Thank god I only cancelled 1 order on Bestbuy. I take solace in that I still get Rewards Zone points.

 

[sweetvar26]

:lol

Fuck it. They don't even have FFXV and X, ffs.

Well they seemed to have changed the pricing on those games.

 

[Sealtest]

Ordered COD AW, Mordor,Batman and Destiny and paid the extra $5.99 for guaranteed release day delivery on each one. Really hope they honor the ones made before the correction.

 

[frequency]

3 games I want to order, Tales of Xillia 2 and Danganronpa 2 and Atelier Rorona Plus are not 15% off as the list price. So it's just 15% off at checkout. There is no 30%.

 

[BadHand]

Fuck. I think you guys are right. I can't believe I only ordered 3 games from Amazon...

I'm kicking myself for the same reason.

Now $49.99 pre-orders are just going to leave a bad taste in my mouth.

 

[puffyshirt]

Yeah, it's like that with a few. We just need to give Amazon some time to get their shit together. They aren't like FS, they won't run out of preorders, so no worries.

 

[licktheenvelope]

Although, now that I look at what Amazon is doing, this is now false advertising... they are not taking 30% off the retail price, they are taking 15% off, then 15% off the changed price...

So right now it's actually 27.2% off after the change they made...

 

[TheOMan]

And now for some reason the deal is broken for me as you guys have been saying.

 

[Yasumi]

15% off of $69.99 is ~$60. That's where the first 15% went. The rest of it is taken off when you go to the checkout.

 

[Seik]

Well they seemed to have changed the pricing on those games.

Whatcha mean?

I'm still getting 69,99 without deal for MKX.

EDIT: AND GODDAMN, FS site is crashed and burning because it's not loading.

 

[ElNino]

Good thing I got an order in earlier today then from Amazon. Only had four games in the order, but at least they gave 30% off of Skylanders as well since that game wasn't included in the FS/BB deals.

 

[Anony]

i dont see what's changed
it's 15% off when u, and an additional 15% when you check out

 

[licktheenvelope]

i dont see what's changed

It was 15% off, then 30% off @ checkout.

Problem they have now is false advertising (IMO)... because 15% off, then 15% off is not = to 30% off...

My bad, for some reason I thought the Last Of Us remastered was changed to $64.99.

Also, E3 starts now guys, peace out.

 

[Returners]

i dont see what's changed

It was previously. 15% off on price, then at checkout it's additional 30%.

 

[Jason]

Glad I was able to get one order in. Destiny, Pokemon and Bayonetta for $113 shipped

 

[Anth0ny]

Fuck what happened with Amazon? this thread is moving so fast lol

should I cancel Best buy pre-orders and move to Amazon?

 

[rinse82]

Maybe it's better that some of you who are confused don't know the truth, lol.

It'll make you feel better.

 

[frequency]

15% off of $69.99 is ~$60. That's where the first 15% went. The rest of it is taken off when you go to the checkout.

Look at my games. I am not buying $69.99 games.
Saying 30% off compared to list prices of OTHER retailers is simply false advertising.

I am buying 59.99, 54.99 and 39.99 games. One of them is 8% off already.

 

[BadHand]

30% of $69.99 is not the same as 15% off $59.49 so their ad is bullshit.

There is a $1.57 difference.

 

[BigJonsson]

Gaf is still running strong, surprised

 

[sweetvar26]

Don't cancel anything yet just so that you can make sure they honor this and all.

I have both my Best Buy and Amazon pre-orders still in tact. It is easy to do a Best Buy return anyway, so nothing to lose.

 

[Seik]

Just you wait, nothing has been announced yet, that's why.

As I posted that it looked like it was about to crash haha

Ya they screwed up somewhere... originally it was 15% off, then 30% off at checkout (which is actually more like 40% off retail)... then they changed it and now it's 15% + 15% which is 27% off...
