Er, the $1.99 code for WDIDTDTML2 is a DLC mission pack.

It is now. The other day the full game was mispriced to $1.99. They also had Family Feud mispriced to $1.99. I missed out on Family Feud but picked up a copy of WDI... for myself and an extra.

Hmm, I might could take that extra off of you.

Hate to break the deal topic up but has anyone done a "trade in" with Amazon and just how does it work and did it go alright?

I've used it and have had no problems. You just select the games you want to trade in and you can print out the UPS slip and send it in. You have to ship in within a week of submitting it and they usually give you your credit a day or two after they receive it.

I'm not sure if you can use the credit on anything or just video games.

It's everything. I ended up using over $100 credit towards an ipod Touch.

Gotta love the Amazon Warehouse. Ordered a copy of Mass Effect 2 Collector's Edition (360) last week for $14.99 and it arrived today. It doesn't even look like anything inside was ever touched.

Wow. That's fantastic! You could turn around, sell that on ebay, and get enough money to buy a damaged box (ie new) Xbox Slim or PS3 from the Warehouse.

I must be living under a mushroom, but Amazon Warehouse allows you to buy "damaged" products for a reduced price? AND the product is guaranteed to work??

"Damaged" isn't really the proper descriptor for these items. I've probably picked up over a dozen games -- and one 360 controller priced at $18 -- from Amazon's Warehouse Deals, and they've all been practically new. Most of them are likely opened games that people didn't like and claimed they were "defective", or items where the outer packaging was damaged in shipping.

In any event, everything I've bought from them has been exactly as described and fully functional, all of which arrived re-wrapped in nearly new condition. Very trustworthy.

Thanks guys! I'll definitely check it out.

BTW gryffinmaster, I love your sig... that was an excellent book that has managed to stick with me months after reading it.

What is 'damaged' is the box, not the item itself. In retail stores, you normally would not pick these products in damaged box unless its the last item available and you just really want to have it. Of course there will be instance when the handling of these items leading to a damaged box actually affects the item inside.

Thanks for the info on Warehouse Deals. I'm checking it out now.

If you can live without getting the remote controlled spy cam that the Prestige edition offers, the vanilla Call of Duty Black Ops for the 360 is now $49.99 and comes with a $20 promotional credit. Pretty sweet deal.

Link.

Looks like everyone who did get in is having their order canceled

Wow, I guess so. What sort of bullshit is that?

I wonder if people that already had it pre-ordered got the auto adjust. They'll likely slip through the system.

Pre-ordered about 2 months ago. I sent in an email asking for a price adjustment. I said it should be covered by the Pre-Order Price Guarantee. They dropped my price down to $49.99. Nice.

It's almost enough to make me bite on this, but I'm just not sold on Castlevania as a mashup of God of War and Shadow of Colossus.

The IGN preview implied that after 8 hours of gameplay an actual castle was only a peripheral concern. How is that Castlevania? But I did just get my $20 promo for Metroid and it would be fitting to use that credit on my other favorite and, of late, misguided 8-bit franchise.

Yeah, I'll be using my $20 Metroid voucher on it as well. I dunno, early buzz is pretty good and I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it. There are tons of 2D sidescrolling Castlevania adventures out there, so I'm willing to try something different.

Mine was adjusted as well.
