Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

Unless you'll never buy another game from Amazon, it's the same amount out of your pocket either way, just more now, less later rather than an even split (here we go again!). I don't know the answer to your question, but why risk it?

The few times I have canceled an order with a promo discount, it has always gone back into my account without trouble.

That's probably the best route, more-so because I still had prime when I ordered Halo.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

I've only played about 2 hours of Chaotic but it is a decent family title/animated tie-in. It has a little bit of a Pokemon feel to it.

Wow, I JUST bought a Wii on March 15th from Amazon. What a pleasant kick in the head seeing the latest offers!

I wish they would match the supposed sale titles at Kmart. I really don't want to deal with Kmart but I'm not holding out much hope for Amazon to match them.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

what is there to "deal with"? I ordered mine yesterday, and UPS is delivering it today. Amazon can't beat that.

Well, for one, it won't let me order Bayonetta online. Amazon can beat that because, well, it would actually send it to me if I asked.

Deal with going into the story and getting half assed around by their staff over a deal that is supposed to be going on. If I can't walk into the store and get the deal then why should I bother ordering it online? Is it that hard for them to read their memos and know what is supposed to be on sale?

I walked into K-Mart this afternoon and got the deal without saying a word.

Great price, I find it funny though that neither GH: Metallica or GH: Van Halen have come anywhere close to this price. Of course those two would be the ones I'm actually interested in.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

I picked it up with my $10 credit from SSFIV. I didn't think I'd ever get it, but there's actually a decent amount of good songs on there. And for under $5, it's a no-brainer.

That story sounds familiar, though I'd add the following:
