Amazon Prime now gives 20% off on all pre-ordered and new released games.

It's a shame it's only on physical copies.

Gamer's Club Unlocked from Best Buy is still way better. Cheaper and no time limit on the 20% off and reward dollars.

But then again, Best Buy.

I'm more about digital these days. The games I actually buy at release are games like fallout or other games with high replay value.

Otherwise I wait for fire sales like far cry 4 for $14 or I get them from gamefly when they accumulate enough to be worth the sub.

I have zero interest in swapping discs these days or holding discs somewhere.

I also shit canned amazon prime because I already get free shipping for my orders over $35 and I generally don't need to pay to get things faster. I've noticed that I buy far less shit that way.

I'd agree with that if console digital prices were anything like PC digital prices/sales. As it stands, Amazon is almost always much cheaper after a game has been out for a while, and now the same is true for pre-orders. I've got Prime anyway, and no Best Buys near enough to me to be useful, so this new thing is great imo.

Also, fuck downloading 30-45GB games from Sony (from what I've heard MS is no better, and Nintendo is much worse based on my 3DS experiences) when they can't even saturate half my cable bandwidth.
