Question for people who usually order through Amazon for the future game credits. Will this work: If I order say GoW III first which has a $10 future game credit then order say Heavy Rain can I apply that $10 credit to Heavy Rain even though it releases before GoW?

No, the credit isn't put onto your account til a few days after it ships. I got Bioshock II that way and didn't get the discount til last Thursday I believe, which I then applied to FFXIII and when FFXIII comes, that discount is going to GoW 3... dunno what that one is going to.

Edit: Unless you wait til GoW 3 comes out THEN order Heavy Rain, then you could, but pretty sure that is not what you meant :D

Ya ended up doing it and found that out, still saved me $20+ with no tax and the regular discounted price, thanks though.

24 cents off the PSP version, fucking sold

MW 2, Ac2, LFD2 all 40 bucks this week on amazon, if for some reason people dont own these by now.

Newegg has a game sale in today's promo email here.

ACII for $36.99, though mostly seems to be older/really cheap stuff. Did notice Folklore for $31.99, which I haven't seen on Amazon for less than $60 (maybe they're an exception though).

[Qalbert]

see it at gamestop fairly often used. Think around 26ish? not sure tbh

[Isiolia]

Yeah, Gamestop has it listed at $29.99, but not available online, so I dunno.

Lord forbid you go to a store. lol

Well, more that it may be a case of limited supply in that they don't have any in the warehouse. Amazon's list has it ranging from around $30 to $115.

I don't go to Gamestop that often anymore though, sure, so I wouldn't know their stock/price on things offhand. If I can get something new for a few bucks more, I don't buy it used, and I don't trade things in, ergo, their business model does not appeal to me.

I don't know what third world country you live in, but this is America. If I can't get food, entertainment and shopping delivered to my couch then we have failed as a nation.

Edit: Nevermind, that'll teach me to post this late. Qal posted it a couple posts up.

Wasn't sure where to ask this and didn't want to start a new thread, but I have a question for people that buy games regularly through Amazon with Prime.

I just signed up for Amazon Prime in December and have preordered 5 games with it. With Heavy Rain, I got the option for free release-day shipping. None of the other games had that option. Is release-day shipping just on select, random games, or do I have to time it right?

It's not too much of a worry, as an extra day with free 2-day shipping is usually fine. I'm mostly curious.

Amazon has 4000 XBL points for $40, but shipping is estimated sometime between March and April on these for whatever reason. Online game code not eligible, only the physical card. Also, the direct link points to regular $49.99 so you'll need to click the link for the other "new" offers, which is here:

[Qalbert]

not a deal on buying, and idk how long it lasts, but Gamestop is currently offering an extra 50% on all trade ins. for example ME2 being traded in would get you around 50 dollars. pretty spiffy.

GameFly has a 360 Bargain Bin sale going on: http://www.gamefly.com/StoreMediaTit...cending&page=1

Mostly butt, but there's BlazBlue for $19 shipped!

[Shojin]

Not really a "console" deal, but for anyone looking for a bigger hard drive for their PS3:

http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/3102...B-68--640GB-85

250gb, 320gb, 500gb and 640gb 5400rpm drives. (PS3 is compatible with 7200rpm drives but can't fully utilize them as they are designed with the stock 5400rpm drives in mind)

Best Buy has Dragonage Origins on sale currently for $39.99. I almost picked it up when I got Heavy Rain, but no time atm.
