all my existing Amazon orders are showing the new lower price, with the 20% E3 still applied, and I believe they've been giving me Prime ontop of that for these orders. AMAZING!

Amazon updated their TOS I thought so that the 20% is only applied to the original listing price . Not any price drops.. Before they updated their terms I would get 20% off of the price drop price.

I've spoken to managers about it in a few games since they changed their stance.. Maybe someone on here remembers this and could link their stance as I have seen it in writing before

How is Walmart when shipping an order with 2 games that release a couple weeks apart...Will they wait until it's complete or ship them separately?

I meant in case Amazon tries to take away the discounts. They tend to do that if you get a Prime discount you're not supposed to. I got into a mini argument with them over Lego City Undercover Switch, but they eventually honoured the price error

tried to post but my img isn't working, here's the direct URL: http://imgur.com/a/vC3ON

I should clarify that it shows the 20% in the order summary, but it doesn't show it on the item price, per usual.

that image does not show any 20% discount, only that your order's price updated. Go into the details and check if the total is 249.80$+tx or less.

You are correct. It's 20% off the MSRP. If there's a random drop before then, that comes off the total price of the Prime discount. So a $79.99 game will never be lower then $63.99 regardless of drops in price. The only time it will is if the manufacturer drops their MSRP.

Spoke with CS and got them to manually apply the additional 20% discount to Spiderman, GOW, Days Gone, Death Stranding and Detroit based on ordering them last year during the E3 promo. A couple of failed attempts with chat but it worked like a charm via phone. Worth a shot if anyones determined and itching for more savings!

I hope Walmart discounts VII Remake. Now that would be a killer preorder.

Imagine all of the E3 discounts that'll stack between now and 2020?

I've never played a red dead before but I guess I'll preorder it now and think later. What's a good comparison to this game? GTA?

RDR2 is available again at Amazon

Edit: just noticed that my KH3 I bought last 2014 went down to 49.96. Thats 35 with 30% discount. Pre-ordering pays off finally!

CSR sweepstakes. Basically you keep on chatting a csr until you get someone to add the 20% discount.

This is very YMMV. I've be able to do it a long time ago, but recently after like 6 people In a row, phone calls and supervisors I gave up

I should note that their own policy states it's 20% off The original listing price, not price drops.
