Yeah they also got rid of the discount for Toys to life as well which sucks for anyone collecting amiibo

Wow.

I'm hoping it's just a temporary glitch and it's not listing the discount like it should. Unless it's been explicitly stated, in which case I hope they change their mind before it's time to renew. If they do stick with this stance, I'm definitely ending my run with them.

Pretty much the same here.

Yeah, it's kind of confusing.

I mean, I get that Amazon Prime offers benefits other than 20% off "all" games (or, at least it's supposed to refer to all games) but, as a gamer, if they remove the chance to pre-order Limited/Collector's Editions of games at 20% off I'll literally have no reason to stay a member (aside from the laughable "Free Two-Day Shipping", which tends to take just as long if not longer to reach me when compared to non-Prime members).

You'd think they would give some reason, for gamers in-particular, to want to renew their Prime subscription. Most people likely subscribed when Prime first hit, which means the re-subscription date is coming ever closer. To go through E3, offering the standard 20% off of all game pre-orders to everyone, and nothing else to Prime members, and then remove the one thing that might make the service somewhat enticing (20% off Limited/Collector's Editions outside of E3)? Well, it's money saved for me, I guess, if they don't revert the change.

Well, if anyone else was wondering if Superstar Saga is getting a physical copy, it is.

[kinger]

So there's no safe haven of "They've never updated it between midnight and 5 AM" or anything?

Hmm.. tonight may be a long night...

There's no guarantee it'll even go up tonight

$100 plus tax for a video game? Get bent, Nintendo.

Yup that's a M&L cover all right. I ain't complaining lol I'm happy we're getting a physical copy.

I ordered Yoshi, Kirby and Metroid Prime 4 at $79.99 earlier in the day but it's not showing a 20% discount. Pokken is $99.99.

 

[firehawk12]

They're never going to fix the Switch game prices are they...

If you ordered them when they just went up, they didn't have the discount applied yet. There was a small window between being put up and being taken down again when they were $79.99 and had the 20% discount.

 

[JDH]

Took me a while with the formulas, but it will save me a lot of time in the future! Here she is boys! Yeah, I don't know what's up with the FFXII. Probably going to cancel that one anyways.

Either import them from the States or wait for a sale. Nintendo of Canada no longer wants your money on Day 1. As a consumer you should know how to respond to this.

We all have backlogs. I could go cold turkey for 5 years on game purchases if it meant sending the right message.

It's just even after Day 365 prices don't budge. I am in no way paying $99.99 for any game, but Nintendo is the only one I ever consider paying "full price" for as 1st party titles never go on sale

How did you get Ni No Kuni 2 to $47.99?

Amazon glitch. It's over.

Any the wait continues.

On another note Metroid 3DS sold out at Amazon.ca

 

[daftstar]

I see. So the only discount at this point is with Amazon Prime 20% off for games not on Walmart's $49 list huh.

They probably put a stop to pre-orders so they can correct the price to something higher.
Unless you're talking about the LE... in which case that may be it.

That's an E3 20% off discount right now.
Prime 20% discounts don't get turned back on until after this E3 sale is over.

 

[Sniffynose]

Oh I know, I agree $100 + tax is insanity. If the few I pre-d for $79.99 after the 20% discount, don't drop to at least the $63.99 point like they should they will be cancelled until I can get them cheaper. I hope they aren't just testing the water with this price and it really is just a placeholder like they have said on Twitter (in bestbuy's case).

Back to working on my spreadsheet lol, I think I did good this year, no duplicates so far and I managed to fail at trying all the glitches so shouldn't have any cancelled orders xD

They may be adding the alternate (CE) version?

Metroid is up with 20% discount for 3DS

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B071JMCSLF/

Currently Unavailable? Is it actually already sold out or just something weird going on?

 

[Fuzzy]

Probably just upping the price from $50 to $70.

seems to be back up, and at the $49.99 price once again. Phew?

 

[firehawk12]

This is true.

I guess the one advantage of Prime is that I don't actually have to order anything during E3.

Are we sure that 20% the rest of the year is coming back?

 

[Bronetta]

Ive preordered plenty of games for $50. Ill pass on $100 games, even with 20% off.

 

[chrono01]

The only reason I pre-ordered at that price, is that I'm hoping we get the price adjusted to what it should be ($79.99?) and then still retain the discount for 20% off the original price of $100.

It's worth a try, I figure.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Meanwhile, $89.99 sits crying in the corner, forgotten.

 

[CazTGG]

Make sure to check your orders to see if the discount was applied correctly. I was looking through my orders and found that a number of them weren't discounted at 20%.

which ones in particular did you notice were incorrect?

 

[Tagg9]

Is anyone even bothering to pre-order games from Amazon that only have 20% off? If you're a Prime a member you already get that discount permanently (or at least up until release).

 

[terrible]

Do it just in case there's a temporary price drop or error. It's easy to cancel on Amazon so there's really no reason not to.

 

[CazTGG]

Can't name a particular game aside from Rocket League since it could be any of the six games, but in a collective order of 5 $80 games and Rocket League at $60, the discount on the invoice totals to $83.10 (the discount, if my math is correct, should be $92 total, as all of them qualify for 20% off). I've had some odd discount total like this on three separate orders since I was going through to calculate the price of the games with taxes to fill out my spreadsheet and see how much, on average, I paid per game on the PS4, 3DS, Vita and Switch, and I noticed that something was off with how the final values for the E3 discount were calculated on them.

Pretty much.

That's why you make single game orders so you can clearly see where the errors are.

I've gone through a few of the titles so far and can't seem to find any reason why the discount is so odd since it's applied correctly to them. It went fine before so I don't know what changed between now and the time I placed the order since the discount showed up correctly when I placed it.

[Sniffynose]

So I ended up with more than I figured >.>

Grand total was $1450 after savings(which was over $500). Aaand the only game I could possibly drop would be Assassin's Creed Origins, since I could likely get it for less on PC later on but $50 day 1 is tempting me....

I still gotta figure out what I'm doing with Destiny, 2 copies PC or split 1 copy 2 accounts with my wife on PS4 at PSN prices digital.

Aaaand then there's Anthem, prolly same deal 2 for 1 PSN digital deal, and maybe grab Wolfenstien 2 on PC this time around.

Sigh.. it's gonna be an expensive year =/ Time to bust out the good old ebay account and dig around the basement for random stuff lmao

I guess on the bright side, this year I have pretty much everything coming physical after being digital since the PS4 launch, so I will have trade in value down the road instead of nothing >.<

Edit: Damnit I forgot there's bloody amiibos I need too... I think I have a problem =/

Hmm... at the time when you placed the order, did all the games say on their respective pages that there was a 20% discount? there might have been an instance where one of the games didn't have the discount at the time of your order, and was only added to the page afterwards. Maybe it'll be added to your order at a later date. If not, contact CS and let them know. I've had a similar problem occur on occasion and they've adjusted the discount to the correct price.

 

[DVG]

Sorry if this has been asked already but does Amazon usually price match the 50 dollar deals from sites like Walmart? Tryna get Splatoon 2 and Mario for 50 and would rather order on Amazon

I think they only did briefly for the few minutes they were in stock at Walmart, I'm still hoping for a restock of Splatoon 2 myself =(

I made sure before I ordered that every title would qualify for the 20% off by checking out with them separately to see if the discount would show up before putting them into a single order where the amount stated was correct. I've let CS know about it so hopefully it'll be resolved tomorrow (they forwarded it to marketing), but it bugs me that nothing about this is adding up, both figuratively and literally.

If they cancel that, then there's really no reason for me to have Prime anymore. lol

 

[Krammy]

DEAL?

Tekken 7 Day 1 Edition - $49.96 (ships in 1 - 2 months) on Amazon.ca. The listing says price hidden, but once it's added to your cart, it's $49.96 instead of $79.99.

EDIT: It shows that you can save on it with Amazon Prime. Can someone confirm you get 20% off the $49.96 price with Prime? Doesn't seem to stack, oh well!

i took it to checkout and there wasn't a 20% off discount on the order summary.

 

[firehawk12]

Tekken was/is one of the Walmart discounted games, so no Prime discount on top.

I did this, and apparently my copy is coming Monday. Guess I won't have to wait until July.

Did you make an order before it was set to ship in 1 - 2 months? Because after ordering, it still says July for me.

Nope, I did a couple of days ago (crap, I actually should have posted that link to this thread earlier now that I think about it). I'd say give it a couple days. I live in Scarborough, for reference.

This happened to me last year as well and I had to spend hours with amazon support to get it corrected. Support cant do math correctly, apparently 20% off a $79 game is $2.34 according to amazon. Also keep an eye on the amount of tax they charge, it's often wrong(higher) as well.
