two more amazon/prime questions.
Just Cause 2 comes out this month, and I get a game credit from amazon, do I have to wait til I havee JC2 or can I apply it to something else now?
second, my prime expires march 31. If I preorder Splinter Cell which comes out in April, do I still get the free release day shipping since it was ordered whilst Prime was active?

1.) They don't actually give you the credit until the game ships.

2.) No. It'll recalculate your shipping costs once Prime expires.

Are you sure on 2? I had my trial of Amazon prime end on Feb 19th and both FF13 and GoW3 still have release day shipping and the price is the same as it was when I ordered them.

I could be wrong. I know for sure if you have to make any changes (EG: payment) it will definitely recalculate your shipping. (I had the inverse problem after I signed up for Prime.)

As long as you leave the order alone, the order will remain as it was ordered with prime. I've ordered a lot of games ahead of time to take advantage of that.

It shows as $39 for me When was this? today?

[Hiryo]

FF13's sale is really weak/not worth it. Its Buy the game and get a $13(lame considering everyhting else has been 20-60 dollars back) and Tuesday only you can buy the game and get the guide for 13 dollars (lame. who buys game guides nowadays?).

At least its buy 1 get one 20 off, if you dont want that ^ crap you can get WTC or MAG or Heavy Rain for 40 dollars.

Im going to buy a xbox soon, and interested in neither of those, too bad since that bundle will be released they'll come in a 2 disc package and the trade in value will plummet.

Indeed I do, I went through 3 of them in a year and a half in 07/08 before I switched to the PS3 with good reason.

[Kaisha]

Could you not have claimed the warranty on them, or were they second-hand/modded?

I sent the first one in, it RROD within two months of buying the console(Brand New). They sent back a totally different system and a new HDD with it. That RROD 4 months later, I said fuck it, sent it back, yet again they replaced it with just another console, traded it in and bought another Brand New Console. That one RROD 6 months later. After all this bullshit, I just decided to switch to PS3 altogether, and waited for the MGS4 bundle, havent looked back since.

[Qalbert]

My launch 360 didn't RRoD til jan 09. Sent it in from college and they were all we not gon fix dis, bitch. So i bought a new one. then they were like yo send in ur 360, and they sent me a refurb which I gave to my brother for xmas and birthday present.

[Caiyuo]

Mine went just over 3 years before my RRoD, but showed signs that it was happening up to 6 months prior with random freezes.
