TwinIon Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 That's a shame. I've used Amazon for the pre-order discount for almost every game since they started doing it. I'll get my order in for some of the big games I know I want ASAP. It's annoying that they don't even list Spider-Man for the PS4 or RDR2 in a physical copy so you can't get the discount.

For a $60 title, it's 20% worse ($12 vs $10) and it will be available only on selected titles. Oh, and the $10 credit expires within 60 days.

skillzdadirecta Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Whack... No reason at all to keep buying digital games I guess. The problem is digital games get discounted at a much less rate than physical games. Sucks. Between Amazon and GCU I've been saving like a mad man on games these last couple of years.

TwinIon Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Annoyingly they're also making changes to Twitch. Twitch Prime won't include ad free viewing anymore as of October. You'll have to subscribe to Twitch Turbo for $9/month to get rid of ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I like getting Amazon credit so this is good news for me. On the other hand I never preorder so I don't really care. Just watch out on Fanatical they regularly have 20% - 25% off on new release pre-orders. I've already taken advantage of it on Shenmue I&II, Monster Hunter and considering it for Two Point Hospital.

Oh, and the $10 credit expires within 60 days. Ah, I didn't realize the old 20% was on more preorders. I guess that shows how often I'm preordering stuff these days. As for the expiration date, do people really go 60 days without buying something from Amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Well, that's garbage. Guess I'll be buying more digitally now. Also, what's up with Spiderman? I preordered it when it first became available early last year, which was also before they started collecting tax in my state. I still don't have a delivery date showing for it and the game hasn't been available to preorder on Amazon for a long time. Am I not going to be getting the game? Really sucks, because I was saving quite a bit with the 20% off and no tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Thanks for the heads up, I should get a Smash Bros pre-order in before the benefit goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 RIP my prime account. First they dropped the credit card in Canada, then games dropped to 10% discount and now just ending. I don’t buy enough anymore to justify paying for prime every year (any large items I buy already would have gotten free shipping without prime). Props to Walmart canada for the $30 off e3 pre-orders, they’re now my go to for pre-order deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaku3 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I am gonna preorder a few more games before it fully goes away. Metroid Prime 4 is strangely up for preorder so I will do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Twitch Ads? Well guess I will watch a lot less Twitch. Personally I rather have ad free watching over the free games, monthly sub, and any other benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjomesphat Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Why are people still buying games on day one anyway? They're just going to get discounted in a few months anyway, sometimes by 50%. The only games I pre-order are Nintendo games that I need to play on day one. Because I know they're not going on sale for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I know they're not going on sale for a long time. For me it’s mostly Nintendo games that won’t be on sale or it’s games with low production runs at the end of a systems life. I’ve got smash, Metroid, and Pokémon all on preorder for $50 cad (~$38 usd) each. I could have also gotten some big name Sony/MS games on pre-order for the same cost.

Also with GCU there was an incentive... 20% off plus, in the case of some games, 10 dollars in rewards points... to use to buy the next game. I made out like a bandit the last couple of years doing just this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Well that sucks. So much for even considering pre-ordering. I Still have a year and a half on my Best Buy deal. I will milk that before it is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
