Basically. I hate the practice of hiding orders behind paywalls, Amazon constantly fucking up the 20% off for me and screwing up shipping, but the handful of pricing errors every year sort of pay for Prime itself.
This is a bit weird because I read it as "shipping" first and was confused.
Canadian Shipping Deals & Discussion 9: Where Amazon Is Subprime & Stuff Never Arrives On-time
I hope next week there's a killer sale on PSN because I can't find enough stuff that I'm interested in this week to get with that 20% off coupon (a couple of things, but do I really want to save $3 with a coupon that has so much more potential?).
Still, if you ever have real people in your home playing video games or not predisposed to immediately turning up their noses, you should get whatever Jackbox stuff is on sale

I was thinking about that. My joy con is in repair right now, so I can't really play handheld mode. I'm going to give it a week to see if the joy con and delivery of the protector come through for next week. If not, I will re-consider a re-order.

I am all for digital being cheaper but any reason why Stardew Valley is 39.99$ physical and 19.99$ on PSN?
Physical costs more to make, and doesnt it come with a bunch of extra shit?

That's what I just noticed with the "Collector edition" on the image of the case but there is no information on the page. Will look it up! I knew it had to be something more than physical vs digital because we barely ever get lower price for digital copies of games.
The listing for the XII Steelbook has disappeared.

nvm, it's here, but I don't know if the deal is still alive:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XTK6YFP/
The Steelbook listing doesn't come up in searches though.

Yeah, it still works, when you add it to the cart and go to the last step, still shows up at the discounted price.
I bet this is going to be cancelled.

Wow... I uhh... this is the first time this thread has actually had a useful deal for me. Usually this thread is just 100 pages of shipping talk in a row with random mentions of deals where you need to camp the thread and read everything to actually notice them in between a bunch of people whining that their discounted game is a couple days late.
Thanks!
Thanks!

why does amazon sometimes use 1day/2day shipping options and other times uses express/priority options, whats the difference and what determines it?

So Final Fantasy 12 is the game giving us the final push to OT9, who would've thought? I totally expected switch stock issues and related things to push it to the end.

From what I've been able to determine not all games support 1-Day delivery or Release Day delivery. If the game supports it you'll get 1/2 day options. If it doesn't you'll be stuck with Express/Priority.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.

Amazon.ca rep told me the would honour the discount price error for FFXII.
Saved a log of that chat, haha.

I hate steel books and typically avoid them like the plague but FFXII @ $31.35 is way to good to pass up.

Personally I split the cost with a few family members.
I was offered a one-month trial within the FFXII link. *shrug*
Isn't XII coming in July?
I was subbed to EZA on twitch, so the twitch prime subscription helped me justify the cost. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have gotten Prime.
I may stand corrected, but I'd assumed the important date is when you make the order, not when it's shipped.
I had contacted them, shortly after ordering and before it shipped, voicing some concern about shipping times. Would have been nice if they offered to cancel mine and told me to order directly from Amazon since they had some being fulfilled by Amazon shortly. Don't really want to reorder and get stuck with an extra set I won't use.

I'm currently using Prime for Students which is $39/yr, but I've taken advantage of so many deals that I'll probably keep my prime going even after I'm out of school.
Whenever I buy a new game using the Prime discount, I'm usually able to sell it on Kijiji around for a few bucks under what I bought it at. For example, I got Horizon for $70 (got $5 off for that RE7 error) and sold it for $60 a week later. That and the free Twitch subs make Prime worth it for me. 2-day shipping has always been pretty good for me, too.
