Madden also has 20 dollar gamer credit on amazon.

im gonna use the Mario Galaxy credit towards it

Oh really?

Didn't know that, I'll do the same.

So Galaxy -> Madden -> Reach and will still come out with a $20 credit after getting Reach. Amazon's pretty fucking smart for offering the credits. It keeps you buying games from them, and they're waiting on your porch when you get home. Only thing is I didn't see any release day shipping on any of the 3 games? I used 1 day shipping and I'm assuming it will get upgraded to release date?

I ordered Madden on 360 though, maybe I should switch it to PS3 for the upcoming 11 season amirite?

 

[Matrix]

Smokey, you have to go into your order details for each game and manually change the shipping to release date delivery when they finally decide offer it. They will not fix it automatically.

Amazon Prime is so sexy. I decided to pay the the 79 dollar price for a year today. Thankfully I can share it so I'm going to split some of the cost with family members. I get one day shipping on everything I buy due to having a distribution center near me. Plus I don't have to worry about a 25 dollar limit anymore and waiting a week for it to come.

Combined with their preorder credits I'm almost done buying anything from retail.

I got just cause 2 for 39.99 with a gow3 coupon, then another 15 dollar credit for JC2 I can use on a future purchase. Keep stacking forever!

 

[Wellington]

I'll go in with you Bob, if you need more people.

I would take advantage of the Reach deal, but the place I go to gets it the Friday before the official release date. Playing for a full weekend is worth $20, instead of the alternative of a midnight launch then not even getting to really dive in for a few days.

Ive been using Prime since it started and share with family members. It's one of the reasons why I buy so much crap :lol I too get I'd say 95% of my orders in one day even when I pick free two day cause the warehouse dist. center is so close to NY.

You only play games like once or twice anyway. you might as well just wait. I could probably count on 1 hand the amount of times you booted up ODST.

Spoiler

Though thats probably because the fucking game is beatable in 3 hours even though the shit costs 60 bucks. Fucking expansion. Suck it luke.

 

[Mrbob]

Luke wasn't on ODST. He is working on Reach though so the pressure is on!

I agree about ODST too...but this is mostly MS fault for charging full price for an expansion.

Oh and Wellie I'm out of spots.

Well that's the other thing to it, I don't blaze through games as quickly as you guys do, so I'd rather not spend money on having a game sit and collect dust. Madden Leagues also play a major part in what I devout the 4 hours or so of gaming I do a week to. I'm out of touch. :|

My brother told me he was at some PAX in Boston and I asked him wtf PAX was. I didn't even know Penny Arcade had a gathering. :|

I really don't know why I'm buying SMG2. Actually I do, it's because I have credit and get another credit for pre-ordering it:lol .

Who knows how long the Reach beta will run for, but I probably won't touch anything besides that the entire time it's going on.

 

[LiveWire]

Woah Reach is actually coming out eh? Man I'm so behind on gaming news. I guess I could check the Gaming For--nahhh......

Why don't you guys just get an amazon rewards credit card and rack up credit on the credit you are getting?

I wonder if I could use a CC to pay my mortgage, I'd make a killing. :lol

 

[Mrbob]

Actually, I do.

I use my amazon visa for almost everything. Get a ton of gift cards. Have another 25 dollar certificate coming in the mail right now!

Doesn't seem worth it really aside from amazon purchases. The % back is 2% for gas/restaurants/drugstores, but theres plenty of cards out there that offer better than that.

How much do you have to spend to get a GC? $2500?

Also, does it count airline miles? Only got two CCs anyway and this would actually be practical for me since I don't travel much anymore.

3 pts per $1 spent at amazon, $25 gc is probably 2500 pts so ~833 dollars?

Reward Selections:
2,500 Points - $25 Amazon.com Gift Card
5,000 Points - $50 Cash Check
5,000 Points - $50 BP Gift Card
6,000 Points - 5,000 British Airways Miles
25,000 Points - Round-Trip Airline Ticket Within the 48 Contiguous United States and more.

I don't travel at all anymore cause of my illness so I never really payed any attention to the airline miles. I basically only use the card on amazon. I don't think Ive used the card any where else before :lol

 

[Wellington]

Damn that would have been good last year when I was renovating my house. I would have racked up. My card now kind of sucks. Used to be 25K miles gives you a free flight anywhere, now I need to get 30K+ for the 48 contiguous states. The thing about it was that wherever I flew I accrue the miles as points, so whenever my parents travel back home (Dominican Republic) I'd by them the ticket and rack up the 3,000 points per person. :lol Thinking of dumping it to be honest. It's like 70k+ points to go to Europe, fuck that.

Mine looks like this...

10 credit left over from GOW3 being used on Super Street fight IV for the 360

The the next game I buy will be Red Dead Redemption with a $10 gift card which can actually be used on anything, but I'll most likely turn around and use it on Alan Wake which gives another $10 game credit which I will use on Madden which gives the $20 credit which I will use on Reach which then gives me $20 credit left to use on some other game.

Success.

You guys are scientists with this shit. I am taking notes!

i should be able to get my game against the pats in before i leave (lonestar hopefully you can play on saturday or sunday, i'm free all day on both days!). then the next week i play the dolphins and we would have to play friday night or saturday. this is if the internet doesn't work. if it does work then i could play during my normal hours

FUCK kONAMI for puttin that shit on PSP real talk

Agreed. Especially since I don't own a PSP nor plan on owning one anytime soon. :/ I'm a Nintendo portable fanboy. 3DS 4 LYFE!

 

[Rorschach]

Well, it's a sequel to a PSP game, so it's on PSP. They had to throw 360 a bone anyway so we get a non-Kojima, non-Snake, next-gen game. :|

What did you think of Torchlight? Just picked it up from a steam sale and will probably play it after I get done with No More Heroes 2.

Torchlight is sweet built in the Diablo mold of gaming. Only knock against the game is being solo only, but whatevez it is only 5 dollars right now on sale.

I thought it was a direct sequel to MGS3, which is on PS2.

The story will take place following the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, which were both prequels to the original Metal Gear, and will once again star Naked Snake.[5] Peace Walker's original title was Metal Gear Solid 5: Peace Walker. [6] The development team working on Peace Walker is as large as the team that worked on Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. [7]

your both right

Good game Denog, as always. Came down to the wire, nice adjustment at the line on that int. Thought I had room to get it over the top, but your CB made it over in time. Great running game too, had a tough time slowing it down.

Edit: Nog received a one month ban because he asked if Hydro Thunder was coming to PSN, just an FYI. Pretty fucking retarded.

was it Greene, up the middle? He was beasting against me, when we played.

Yeah, Greene was a machine. If Washington was in on a couple of runs he would of sprung one. I also should have made more adjustments, sub in a higher str DE, but one of my package subs totally f'd up my LB set up, so at that point I wasn't messing with any more settings.

Hydro Thunder was a pretty sick game. I wonder if SF Rush will show up on PSN, that game was fucking awesome.

Should have asked/begged if some PC game was coming to 360. Then he'd be in the clear!

Bunch of people were banned for NBA Jam too, meanwhile we all know it's coming to other platforms after they're done taking $50 from Wii owners.

If anyone wants to fill in for the Rams, and FMT is okay with it, would be appreciated. Hate playing the CPU.
