The Shaun White price is listed as $7.00, but when trying to check out the price jumps to $19.99. Am I doing something wrong?

Oh, those with a Discover card : There's a current promo -- buy $50 in Video Games (or select other departments) and get $10 off the order automatically as long as you pay with Discover. Can be used over and over again. I preordered MAG, FF XIII, Bioshock and placed another order all receiving $10 per order and got each one of those preorders for less than $45. It's a great way to lock in a great price on games you were going to buy anyway. Wish they had Crackdown 2 less than MSRP, but whatever.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
Do you know if it's $50 before any goldbox discounts or after goldbox discounts?
I have quite a few preorders that were above $50 before those discounts and I would happily switch my payments over to my discover card if that would work.

It works with current Gold Box discount (Hense MAG for $44). I don't know if it works with changing the payment of previously placed orders, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to try.

Thanks. Just changed payment on an order to test the waters. Sent an email, will see what happens. I still have a number of standing ECA + goldbox pre-orders (heavy rain, modnation, god of war, and MAG) so the extra $10 would get me down to $38 a piece.

Just got a tweet 50% off Batman: AA )360/PS3) or MGS4 starting at midnight (I'm assuming Pacific since it's not up yet)

To follow up on the discover thing, despite my order not meeting the "requirements" (it did, $50 before discounts + discover card), they "made an exception" and applied the discount to my order. However they took the $10 off the item price. So I wrote them back asking if there was a way not to do it like that, seeing as how it might mess up the pre-order price guarantee.
But all in all, $10 saved!

Batman: Arkham Asylum is current lightning deal, and even at discounted price of $29.99, Discover Card likewise reduced selling price to $19.99. Great deal!

Any speculation on the upcoming lightning deals? I just don't know enough of the games available...

I have purposely held off, waiting for a deal on the GOTY edition (with all the downloadable content included). But after reading about all the stuttering and freezes, maybe that isn't the smartest move. Have those issues been addressed by Bethesda?

Just cashed in on my Batman:AA for $30. I'm not a huge fan of button-mashing action games, but this is supposed to be fantastic, right? Plus, I love Batman (especially as handled by Dini in BTAS)

well this is definitely not a button mashing action game...so you might love it...

And as mentioned above, it's not a button masher. The combat system is very deliberate...almost in a rhythm-game kind of way, and it's only a small part of the game anyway.

Haven't heard word of a full-on fix for the freezing yet, just a patch for the Canadian version's save issues.

Not sure about the 360 version, but the PS3 version will bog down sometimes. When it happens, if you restart the PS3 (resetting the cache), it clears right up.
It's amazing how forgiving I am of this games faults. It's an amazing and ambitious game, but it feels like nobody playtested it.
