There's also a $20 credit for Bulletstorm.

What's the deal with the credits these days? Does Amazon still give it to ALL preorders or just the preorders after the promotion was posted?

I've already got a Bulletstorm preorder. Wondering if I should cancel and place a new order.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

ALL. no need to cancel.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

yeah when they first added the 10 dollar it was not going to be applied... When I , and a few at cag, emailed them they said it would not be applied but that they would make a one time exception. My thinking is they were experimenting with the response on that, and now that the 20 dollar card is offered, and I am sure they got slammed with emails, they tweeted that it would work on all pre-orders.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Since when do they not have a pre-order guarantee?

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Here is the email...

Hello,

I understand your concern about receiving $10 promotional certificate for purchasing
"Bulletstorm - Epic Edition."

In order to take advantage of this promotion, you must place a qualifying order during the specified promotion period while supplies last. We're unable to apply special discounts to items ordered before or after the dates of the promotional offer.

As you've placed the order before we listed the promotion on our website, your order is ineligible to receive the $10 promotional certificate.

However, I've made an exception to our standard policy and issued a $10 promotional certificate to your account. You can use this funds the next time you order an item shipped and sold by Amazon.com. You'll see your available promotional balance at checkout--this amount will be applied to your next order automatically without entering a claim code.

Your promotional balance doesn't appear in Your Account but will always display when you place an order.

I am not sure what the thinking is but it could be that the pre-order price guarantee may be looked at as the price you pay for the product, not any dlc/future gift cards you get. I read through there and I can see how a lawyer could argue that the price guarantee does not include any other future gains....only the out of pocket price... I really think Amazon was experimenting with Bulletstorm....

If you email CS about such matters you will often get an email like that one. In my experience, it doesn't matter if you email them or not. You will get your promo credit. Some CS reps just aren't hip to the program.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I always just cancel my old pre-order and put in a new order when these vouchers happen. None of the worry and is a whole lot less trouble than dealing with customer service.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I always do nothing when these vouchers happen, and I always get the promotion.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

So basically it's just SDers, FWers, and CAGers ignoring the first rule of deal-finding: NEVER CALL! ;)

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Preorder from within Home Central Plaza to get a jetpack costume for your avatar as well.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Just saw the tweet. Glad they're not trying to pull that shit again.

Suckers - they said if you pre-ordered Bullestorm, NOT Bulletstorm which most of you probably did. Ha ha.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

At least you still get $20 off if you pre-order Balletstorm and Black Swan together.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Amazon upped the future credit on Portal 2 pre-orders to $20: http://amzn.to/gLXZOo

On top of the $54.99 price and release-date delivery :up:

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

The PS3 version is showing up as only available via third party sellers.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Yeah, @amazongames already tweeted that they're working on fixing that. It'll be there.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

You don't know jack was just 19.99...and now it is back up to 29.99...I am going to look into my magic balls and see that it will be...19.99...

I wonder if Bulletstorm will break the 30 level....

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Really Bulletstorm for $39.99? I might have to bite...

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I am sure it will be at least 39.99...that was the price a few days back....I would like to see it hit 29.99 so a few friends will pick it up...

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Cool I wasn't aware of the $39.99 but at $29.99 you'll have another friend that will have it ;)

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

that would be great..I will finally get a chance to play Anarchy mode...

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Tempted on Dragon Age 2. Damn it. Not sure if the 360 or PC version is better; I know Origins had a better PC release.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Broken record, I know, but amazon and the publishers are really beating me over the head telling me never to preorder major games and just wait a couple of weeks after release. I haven't learned my lesson yet, but my head is getting softer.
