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

Its only the case thats french. So if that is an issue they might be able to switch. But if you dont care about a little french on the box the game itself can be set in any language your ps4 is currently set to.

Now I need to figure out what game to move my RDR2 preorder from EB to... Any good games coming out in 2019?

EDIT: Oh wait, Dissidia is coming out. I'll probably pop my RDR2 onto that.

 

[DeathByBacklog]

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.

This makes sense. Walmart is making Prime pointless for those who paid for it.

 

[Stage On]

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


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

Urg I hate how preorders of games that aren't even limited editions can even go out of stock in the first place.

 

[NYR]

They can't offer an unlimited supply. They are doing these deals to break even based on bulk purchases. The whole point is ancillary services (Amazon Prime, getting your email address, getting you to shop on their site, etc).

When they re-up the offer, it isn't random - they likely have locked in supply via a distributor or publisher.

 

[Fuzzy]

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

Like was said, it's not a debate.

I would agree with you if the terms of Prime wasn't specific on that point.

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.

It's not about not liking people getting a deal, it's about badgering CS until you get something that their deal terms doesn't state. E3 2015 deal terms were % off the lowest price, E3 2016 terms they changed it to % off the list price. We all knew that change before we ordered last year so complaining we're not getting something better until we do is a slimy move. I'm happy when price/system errors get people a great deal.

 

[Kiro]

There is no debate. It is slimy as fuck.

Agreed. I just meant we have seen this type of thing five times and there is no point wasting your time trying to convince them.

 

[NYR]

Oh yeah, definitely agree. This thread is still days away from E3 and is already insane.

 

[Kiro]

Seriously. I'm damn stoked for a 50 dollar Game. 90 bucks each have been eating me alive.

I know that's not how it works but if Amazon wants to keep doing business with people they need to make prime attractive.

Right now I pay 90$ a year for shit shipping services and the same price as everyone for my preordered games thanks to walmart.

As it stands right now, prime is losing a lot of value for me as a customer

You shouldn't renew and if you do knowing all of this then it's on you.

 

[Fularu]

I don't believe I will be renewing as you said

Holy crap, I'm getting KH3 for $35. Price drop + 30% E3 Discuont from a few years back.

It's not like the game will be coming out before 2025 so you may end up with an even better deal

 

[DVCY201]

Just to confirm, no Nintendo Switch titles have dropped yet on Amazon? I'll wait a bit, hoping to get the Price Protection

Anyone pre-order COD WW2? I'm still on the fence about it since it's developed by Sledgehammer and I didn't play Advanced Warfare. I did enjoy Black Ops 3 though and put a ton of hours into it but that was Treyarch..

Did people like the MP for Advanced Warfare?

 

[True Fire]

I expect KH3 will cost me less than a pizza. There are so many potential discounts that apply to my preorder it's kind of sad.

I did. I'll just cancel if it looks bad.

Last did I played was blops1

 

[UberTag]

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!

Amazon's policy changed over that stretch. Those old two-year-old orders still adhere to their old discount logic but nothing created since does.

If you want to hustle Amazon CSRs to apply E3 / Prime discounts on prices that are already reduced by almost 40%, go nuts. That's not something I'll be partaking in, though.

 

[daftstar]

Alright I guess I'll do the same.

Any ideas on how long this promo will last? I think I wanna see footage at the press conference first before placing my order.. hopefully it lasts for the next week/throughout E3.

 

[daevv]

So only the $49 dollar games for us non Prime plebs? No 20% off on regular priced games like last year? Unless it gets added in the next few days.

Amazon is just matching Wal-mart righ now. No E3 specials for them yet.

no this is just amazon price matching walmart, they did the same last year as well when walmart did the same

 

[killroy87]

Decisions...

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

Anyone else facing this? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Wait until Tuesday. Thing could get a price cut.

 

[diaspora]

yikes, Amazon has absolutely nothing worth ordering

I'll get a few $49 ones tonight and wait on the rest. Wondering about getting 20% off Dragon's Dogma and Ni No Kuni II mostly.

I'm in, but mostly because I was trying to think of any games I might remotely be interested in and this was one. I still kind of expect to cancel it, as I didn't play Infinite Warfare or Advanced Warfare (though was pleasantly surprised by Black Ops III, as the only person in the world who liked the campaign).

There's no new Battlefield this year so looks like Call of Duty and Star Wars for me.
Unless there's Modern Warfare 2 Remastered, in which case everything else can fuck right off.
But Star Wars will have the DLC maps free for everyone, so that's nice. And it will look eye-melting on Scorpio, so I'm definitely getting it. Even though I don't really like the first, I only fucked around for a few hours for the visuals.

Advanced Warfare was the best in terms of campaign in recent years, for me at least. I mostly play them for campaign and only dabble in multiplayer. So with them doing WWII, it could be really interesting. It'll get a decent blowout during the Sony conference, I'm sure, and it's way off in November still, so plenty of time to cancel if it's starting to look rough!

No clue. I've been quoting far too many people today. I must have goofed some how. Fixed now though.

I still need Crash though ;( and then I will be able to cancel my walmart order

Thought about getting Star Wars mainly for the visuals/audio too but the impressions of the first were pretty lackluster. I'm not very big on the series either so that's another thing.. Who knows I might change my mind after seeing more of it in the future.

For $50 I think it's a safe pre-order. Worst case scenario you flip it for $60 the next day.

So Amazon is able to add those new 3DS games rather quickly, but we still don't have 'Mega Man Legacy Collection 2' or 'Blue Reflection' up yet

Advanced Warfare had probably the worst gun balance, and I hated the movement system, but I'm hoping boots on the ground can bring some fun back.

Infinite Warfare was the first cod since Blops 2 that I never ended up buying.
