I picked it up for $20 at Target but I think it's worth it even at that price for the maps that come with it

Agreed, but remember, those maps are also part of ODST, so if you were going to get that anyway, you probably don't need the LE.

Right, but with this deal you are still getting the LE for the same price as the standard game.

When this game came out, I predicted it would flood the secondary game market like nothing since Crackdown. While that might be debatable now, it's readily available on ebay for less than that price from many, many sellers. It's actually a pretty good game, but I just questioned how well it would go over among the Halo fanboys.

Fair enough, but actually Amazon beats all the sellers on half.com right now. Not to mention none of them have the codes and I have never seen a second hand tin in good condition.

Deal of the Day Tues 8/18/09

Peggle Dual Shot $9.98 (regular $19.99).

Yes, I've bought this game three times already (Pop Cap PC, ipod, XBLA), but with ECA, Amazon Prime and (hopefully) that $5 MP3 credit, this was too good to pass up. Besides, this will be my first crack at the Peggle Nights levels.

I bought Peggle Dual Shot on clearance at Target for $14 but ended up taking it back because I got Peggle on the iPhone for $1 the same week. The iPhone is just too convenient to bother with the DS version.

Unrelated, but I really hope Amazon comes through with a deal on Prime sometime soon. I'm tired of hunting for filler items. When did they do that $60 deal last time?

They did it right before Christmas. Like 12/21 or 12/22. It just allowed me to send some last minute gifts. Yeah, $80 is a chunk of change, but if you buy a lot of CDs or DVDs it kind of pays for itself by just buying everything at Amazon and avoiding sales tax. Also, since you can share it with five "family members", you can share it with relatives as a bonus Christmas gift.

My office UPS guy thinks I'm crazy. He walks into the office and asks "Ok, what did you get today?"

When I was looking at six months worth of my Amazon orders, I didn't think Prime would be worth it. But, I signed up anyway. I've ordered more from them in the last few months than I ever had, including stuff I could just as easily get with a stop at Target. Getting it with Prime is one less stop I have to make.

I ordered $6 worth of packing tape yesterday. :lol:

Thanks Decker. Hopefully they'll do it again this year.

You can also "share" Prime with up to 5( or 4, don't remember) people at different addresses. This is always what I do and just split the cost with others, makes it a no brainer decision.

How does this work? Do you share the same login account or something?

Nope, I don't remember the exact process though. One person buys it, then there is a place where other people can enter in that persons email address and birthdate they used on their amazon account.

How do I share Amazon Prime with members of my household?

Inviting family members to share your Amazon Prime membership is easy. Simply log into "Your Account" and click on the link to "Your Amazon Prime Membership." There you will see a list of your current membership, the status of all members linked to your Amazon Prime membership, and options to add or remove members.

* To add a member: Enter the person's name, relationship, e-mail address and birthday in the appropriate fields and click "Invite." An invitation e-mail message automatically will be sent to the e-mail address you entered. Note that invited members will need to know the month and day of your birthday to accept your invitation.

* To remove a member: Click the "Remove" button next to the name of the person you wish to remove. An e-mail message automatically will be sent to the person you remove.

I got that, it's not showing any kind of confirmation of the bonus $5 offer.

*How do I share Amazon Prime with members of my household?*
when it says "household member" will it let someone with a different address do this??
I guess my friends can be uncles & aunts...

It can be anyone, as long as you know their email address, birthday and they know yours. I's super-easy to share the cost, but like I said, I let my parents, inlaws and sister use it. Do I need it? No. But I really can't imagine not having it any more -- it's so useful.

Well, turns out a friend of mine already had prime and had no issues adding me. Problem is that I have yet to receive a confirmation email. The site said I'm signed up and gave me a screen to wait for a confirmation email. On my friends end, he's still waiting for me to confirm. This was sometime yesterday afternoon. Does it usually take this long?

It took me awhile to receive my invite yesterday as well... but I didn't have any confirmation within my account until I'd activated via the email.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 
I got the invite almost instantly (we were chatting while he invited me), clicked the link and put in his and my birthday and that's where I get the page that says a final confirmation email will be on its way. That's the email I haven't received.

*edit - weird, it appears to be working. When I click "Manage Amazon Prime Membership" I get

Last question, is there a way to change something you already pre-ordered to have Prime shipping?
