Spla2n

How the F^cK did this happen? I didn't expect to wake up this morning committing to spend this kind of money. You all are bad influence!

*burns his flow chart*

 

[Sealtest]

One of the best best games of last gen. You need to play it ASAP

What the what? PLAY THE GAME!!!

And no...GTA would not be an accurate comparison other then it being open world and from the same company.

At the time I was way into Warcraft that I skipped almost every other game. Raids were my main thing. Guess I should find the PS3 version and give it a try.

 

[firelogic]

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.

6 people eh? I don't think I'll bother trying unless I see more success stories here. On the bright side, it's still a better deal than what we were getting with the 20% off of $79.99 so can't be too mad.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

I wanted to order NBA for Switch but I will just hope Amazon has a deal so I can cancel if the game isnt fully featured. Otherwise good deal.

 

[Maximus.]

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

This is how good things get ruined, people gaming the system and taking advantage.

 

[Twilight Princess]

Got rdr2 and gow.
Still sad because i was late for mario

Amazon has it for $50

This is mainly true, but there was another order I had with Kingdom Hearts 3 on it and that price adjusted automatically to include the E3 discount, although that order was placed 2 years ago so the terms might be different for older orders like that. It seems like there's much more wiggle room with E3 discounts than existing prime discounts. Good luck!

FTFY

This is me too . Mostly hoping Spiderman pops back up though. Come on big money.

 

[LegitMcfalls]

So french version of Destiny 2 is 49.99 and thr English is 79.99.

 

[kevin1025]

My hope is that all of these Wal-Mart cancellations will make their $50 games go back in stock and cause Amazon to drop their prices, haha.

 

[N° 2048]

I am honestly pretty set besides a couple games.

Now I'm waiting for some PSN deals (come on Friday the 13th!).

 

[Pacer]

I think I'll keep my Walmart orders. I know Amazon will deliver late on purpose and I don't want to support that.

 

[Stat!]

So french version of Destiny 2 is 49.99 and thr English is 79.99.

Yeah I ordered the French version. Apparently, its just the packaging and not the game itself.

I am just waiting on Amazon to do some Nintendo stuff!

 

[True Fire]

Here. Let me help out...

And damn! Lucky you.

Damn, that's like 3DS prices for day one super AAA titles. E3 really is the best time of the year.

And the madness over newly announced games hasn't even begun yet.

 

[xCaptainCanadax]

So how are you guys cancelling your walmart orders effectively? via phone?

 

[LegitMcfalls]

Yeah I ordered the French version. Apparently, its just the packaging and not the game itself.

Ya my copy of vanilla destiny that came with my white ps4 was french packaging.

Also my god this is canadian video game christmas!!!

 

[Socreges]

So I ordered RDR2 back in April with the Prime discount. Came to $65 or so.

Now, with this price change, when I look at my order, it says $49.95.

Does this mean it will necessarily ship and charge at $49.95 when the game is finally released? Or might it reset to the original order price when the deal is over? 🤔 Seems awfully nice of them to administer the lowest price after I've already ordered.

They have a lowest price guarantee, so you'll pay $49.96 + tax when it ships!

 

[-Deimos]

I take a nap and all hell breaks loose!

 

[xCaptainCanadax]

I noticed that the PC version of Destiny 2 shows at 49 on amazon so I just added that for now as I have PS4 on walmart. Now I can mull over which one I want to keep :/

If pc is delayed. You play ps4 until pc version comes.

Stop enabling me and throwing logic behind my decision! xD

Preorder price protection kicked in

You're fine

 

[-Deimos]

For some reason, Mario got put in a separate order. The only reason I ordered it at full price was to have everything in one order if Amazon price matched it XD

 

[MikeyMike]

Got RDR2, GoW and Destiny 2. 50$ for new games is a pretty decent price nowadays. If Ni No Kuni could drop during E3, I'd be set.

 

[Fuzzy]

This is how good things get ruined, people gaming the system and taking advantage.

I'm actually surprised Amazon doesn't track how many times people call in about an order then automatically shut them down for price adjustments after they've already been denied.

 

[Louis Cyphre]

I got Mario on Switch even though I dont have a Switch yet, lol. Also got Destiny 2 for the PC whenever that comes out. Both from Walmart. Thanks for the notification of the sales.

 

[Apples_89]

It literally took one call.

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

I wouldn't feel right trying to get a CSR to apply a 20% discount to an already heavily discounted game.

It's like putting Alberta as your province on the eShop when you don't live there. Feels dirty.

 

[Fuzzy]

It literally took one call.

Yeah, after chat shut you down a few times. Amazon is dumb for not putting notes on people's orders when they shut people down.

 

[Stage On]

Aw man, I missed out on Mario from Walmart and it seems Amazon isn't price matching Switch games :<

 

[CannonFodder52]

Do you think I could get an Amazon rep to switch my French Destiny 2 order to an English one later down the line?

 

[doctorcdcs]

Man, I missed out on a lot of preorder discounts. Sucks to be on a tight budget.

 

[-Deimos]

I think it's because they're OOS on Walmart.

Do you think I could get an Amazon rep to switch my French Destiny 2 order to an English one later down the line?

Probably not. Though I guess there's no reason not to order just in case.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

Screw deals! I set up my Tekken CE statue above my desk...

 

[_Final_Phoenix_]

Dunno if this was asked, but any reason why Amazon doesn't offer deluxe version of Marvel vs Capcom infinite, or steelbook of FF12? I know there was a debacle with orders being cancelled for 12 (of which I was one of them), but as far as I know, Amazon seems to be the only place where the two aren't for sale. They're both on best buy and Walmart sites too.

Maybe square and Capcom purposely don't want people to use their prime discounts? Shame...

(Also, what's up with Mario Odyssey being a hundred bucks everywhere?! And with the prime discount, it just "happens" to be $79.99...)

 

[Bronetta]

What if Kazuya falls down one day?

 

[jaybe00]

Decisions...

299 PS4 500gb black with uncharted 4
Or
329 PS4 1tb gold with no bundled game

Anyone else facing this? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

 

[_Final_Phoenix_]

What if Kazuya falls down one day?

Nah, his dad won't let him drop, especially over that cliff or anything.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

What if Kazuya falls down one day?

Shouldn't. Sag maybe. But he shouldn't fall. There's a metal rod running through his leg and into Heihachi's arm.

Nah, his dad won't let him drop, especially over that cliff or anything.

HA! lol

 

[Apples_89]

Yeah, after chat shut you down a few times. Amazon is dumb for not putting notes on people's orders when they shut people down.

It was two times, and one lady didn't have a clue what was going on to the point that it was a futile effort to try and explain the situation. The second was a guy who just passed the inquiry to their promotions department for further evaluation, and would get back to me in two days with a proposed solution. You're acting like this is some snaky move which should be scorned, when simply they're just extending a similar discount like they've done willingly, automatically, countless times before.

I think you should go for the 1TB PS4 for $329. You could always get the game later More storage space is better.

Extra $30 for a 500gb storage. I'll probably just go with 500gb and sell the UC4. Much cheaper

 

[Kiro]

Looks like we are about to witness yet again the debate of whether conning amazon employees for extra deals is moral or not.

 

[NYR]

There is no debate. It is slimy as fuck.

 

[Fularu]

I believe that prime should apply to the discounted game, otherwise it's a pointless service.

Non prime people get their 50$ games, prime people get it for 40$, everyone is happy.

 

[etta]

Why are Spiderman, Days Gone, Death Stranding, and Detroit unavailable??
I got pretty much everything else at $49.

Were you here for double 30 discounts? No? Gaf don't like it when people get extra deals.

You got it cheaper. Good for you.
