Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

This is much more convenient than the Best Buy or TRU sales.

I have Brutal Legend and the Rock Band Country track pack in my cart... debating on whether or not to pull the trigger...

I tried to buy Borderlands and Uncharted at BB yesterday and they were completely sold out of Uncharted.

I dunno, I've spent about 30 minutes perusing and outside of a couple of pairings everything comes up to either $70 or over $90. They priced things well.

MS points is always the answer.

Not a bad answer, sir. But I actually remembered that Lego Indiana Jones 2 is coming out on November 17th, so I ended up buying Uncharted and Uncharted 2, which came out to $81 and change.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

Does anyone know if the deal allows you to buy two copies of one game instead of two different games? I need to get Uncharted 2 for myself and as a gift, but I'm not sure what third game to get yet. If I could just buy the two copies of Un2 now, that would give me more time to decide what other game to buy.

I'd hate to find out later that it didn't qualify.

I don't see why it wouldn't. What do the restrictions say?

It's not clear on it. The only thing is it says "two or more eligble items." I'm just wondering if it won't recognize two copies as two items (if they have to be different items). Maybe without two different UPC codes it won't work.

Well, one is an eligible item, so two should be as well.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

Well I finally decided to get Civilization Revolution for $26.99 to push my total up to $80.98.

Borderlands (360) - $53.99
Civ Rev (360) - $26.99

Total: $80.98

I'll return the Borderlands on my TRU receipt for $65.10 credit on the same credit card so I'm really only paying $15.88 for Civilization and a future $40 that I'll probably use on God of War Collection or Mass Effect 2.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

What bugs me about the promo is there's absolutely no confirmation that it worked.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

Well, in the end I decided not to risk it and just got one copy of Un2 and NBA2K10.

Yeah, I ordered a game that's out of stock until November so hopefully that won't cause any issues. I took a screenshot of the deal just in case though.

Another thing that bugs me, or annoys to be more concise, is the people over at slickdeals talking about this promotion. I had a headache after reading part of that thread.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

What surprises me is that the $40 is a coupon code, not automatically put into your account and applied to your next order like the odst one and some of the other recent videogame promos were.

It shipped Wednesday.

Then I ordered Forza 3 with the $40.00 off promo credit yesterday, it shipped last night and I received the Forza 3 $10 promo credit this morning.

Now I just have to wait until MW2 ships and get the $20.00 promo credit for that.

Is the coupon code good for a future video game purchase only or can you use it on any item sold by Amazon? Thanks.

I plan on using (2) $40 promo codes and the MW2 $20 promo code to get DJ Hero for $20

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

Did you already get 2 $40 promo codes? Because it is 1 per household...

I didn't even try it on a non-videogame purchase, so I don't know. Anyone else try?

They say it's for a game purchase, so I assume it's games only. I wouldn't be surprised if hardware is excluded.

No, I haven't received either yet. I missed the fine print so I'm assuming I'm screwed out of a second promo code. DAMMIT!
