I order from Amazon so much... that it's good to have friends with Prime.

:lol:

Same here. This is especially useful around the holidays since i don't have to pack up the gifts and go to a PO to mail them. Amazon gift giving is the bestest thing ever. <3

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Not only that, but I make the Prime membership part of the annual gifts for family members. Well worth the price for me (plus I deduct it since I buy office supplies sometimes).

The truth is, you make up the shipping costs just by avioding sales tax on things you'd buy anyway like DVDs, CDs and batteries. I used to think I'd be saving by using FSSS, but I'd spend way more than $80/yr in filler items I didn't really want or need.

I wish they had a Marketplace Prime.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I bought an item off Marketplace last week that qualified for Prime. Of course it was an item being sold by Amazon though. :D Not quite sure I understand why they do that.

+1

Probably the most useful $79 I spend all year.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

You can get prime shipping on a marketplace purchase if it's "Fulfilled by Amazon". Basically marketplace sellers can pay amazon a fee to store their crap, and Amazon ships it.

My problem is, I order so much from Amazon because of Prime!!!

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Cool. I was wondering how that worked.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Thanks guys. Ordered Crackdown yesterday. Been playing my 360 a lot more lately, but really don't like paying more than $20 for games.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Amazon DOTD (4/22) is Frontlines: Fuel of War (360) for $9.98. This was a pretty fun game and I hear people are still playing online. Definitely worth $10.

X-Play gave it 4 Stars (out of 5):

Did anyone get in on the Halo Reach Legendary edition preorder for $60 on Amazon while it lasted?

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Seeing as Amazon cancelled my preorder of MLB The Show 10 when it was mispriced at $40, I wouldn't get my hopes up anyway.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Yup, they honored my order today after the original order was canceled yesterday due to price error.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

In case there's anyone that hasn't played this yet:

$19.99 Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Game Of The Year Edition (360)

Tuesday (April 27th) is an All Xbox 360 Gold Box Day at Amazon.

Someone refresh my memory, but typically the deals will only be on games and maybe some accesories but not including things like 1600/4000 point cards? I would like to get some points cards as cheap as possible with the the summer coming up.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I don't ever recall seeing point cards in the Gold Box deals.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I've never seen points as a featured sale, though often the 4000 point card will drop to around $41. That's about the best Amazon deal I've seen since the death of the ECA discount.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

After tweaking my Amazon account to try and get games in the Quick Picks section, I finally got one today: Super Mario Galaxy 2 for $47.49. Since they don't charge until it ships and Amazon is offering a $20 credit, I bit on it. Off to finish the first one.....

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Today's Gold Box Deal is BioShock 2 (360/PS3) for $39.98

Here's the Lightning Deal clues (times are PDT):

6AM - Get ready to tussle with an infamous company of misfits.

9AM - Prepare to journey to the darkest reaches of space in this RPG hit.

11AM - BioWare’s deepest universe to date just got bigger...

2PM - Rock out with your Stratocaster.

4PM - A legendary war between two of science-fiction’s most popular characters.

6PM - Charge up your Xbox 360 controllers.

8PM - This hit franchise comes to life on Xbox 360.

My guesses are Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age Origins: Awakenings, a guitar controller, Aliens vs Predator, a controller charger and I don't know about the last one. People on CAG are guessing it's Dragon Ball: Raging Blast.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

11AM - New Vegas?
4PM - AVP?

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I'd go for a good price on AVP. But it's currently listed at $54.99, so I imagine it'll be priced around $40.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Probably Mass Effect 3.
