So I guess Amazon is trying to somewhat match TRU sale right now. The selection is pretty decent:

The best thing are ECA codes are still stacking! I picked up Mario Kart Wii, Will Sports Resort, and Batman AA (PS3) for $85.28!

I can't get any ECA codes yet. I should have generated a bunch before they pulled them. I also wish that some of the new release games I want were in Amazon's sale.

Still. They have a pretty decent selection. A few newer titles, such as Little Big Planet Game of the Year edition.

Can you order more than 3? For example if I order 6..Do I get 2 for free??

I think you can do the deal multiple times, but you most likely have to place multiple orders of 3 games each.

I think that they only take off one game from the total when you have 3 or more qualifying games in your basket.

Thanks! I picked up some games, but I too wish that this week's new releases were included. I also wish they made it easier to see which games qualified and which didn't.

It says "Limit one discount per household" on the main page linked above, but we all know that doesn't necessarily mean it works that way.

Great deal...I had an ECA code left, so I got all for the 360, Red Faction, Riddick, and Call of Juarez all for 62 bucks shipped....

Yup, this was mentioned in the Amazon Deal Thread. I ended up picking up GTA Chinatown Wars, Final Fantasy IV, and Assassin's Creed.

Seems like this promo will not be eligible in Canada per usual.

Did they revise the elligible titles? I put Wii Sports Resort in my cart prior to lunch, but now it appears to no longer be a part of the promo...

Did you grab the original package, or the upcoming combo pack?

Someone on CAG said that Mario Kart and Wii Fit Plus are gone too.

Wow, I had both Wii Sports Resort and Mario Kart Wii in my order. I hope they don't retroactively cancel it.

Criminy. Between putting Mario Kart in my shopping cart and checking out they removed it.

Now I don't really have a third title in that roughly $40 price range.

After getting a bunch of DS titles at TRU, I really needed this to show up. Sigh.

Picked up InFamous, Woverine and Prototype for PS3 for $100.

By the way, Red faction isn't listed for the ps3 as being part of this but it does work. I just tested it.

I put Red Faction, Juarez, and prince of persia in my cart and it gave me a 27.99 discount

Yeah, Dark Athena seems to be the problem.

You probably added it to your cart from the wrong shipper. The default shipper is Big Game Vendor. On the right, under "More Buying Choices", find Amazon and add it with that button instead.

Ah yes. Thanks guys. I was also thinking about getting MLB09 but Amazon hasn't dropped the MSRP yet. Kind of annoying. They still have it at $56.99.

This selection of games blows. And even if you do find three games you want, the chances of them all being in the same price range is virtually nil.
