Depends, they won't charge you for retuning faulty shit.
I got my third. I forgot about FE If.

Hope they add rockband to it
If you aren't going to be home to sign for it or don't want to wait for the delivery person then yes. You can just swing by the nearby outlet and pick up the game at any time rather than wait for the delivery van to return to the outlet if you weren't there to sign (usually available after 5pm same day or 1pm next day).
Edit: I do this now since I'm never home when the delivery person shows up.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
They neither pay for my video games nor do they have to pay $90+ for one video game so they can fuck right off with what they think.I bet somewhere out there, Jim Sterling and the rest of the games journalists who told us to stop preordering games are crying soft tears at Canada atm

Quote for new page, anyone know?
Oh, that's nice. I didn't know this. We currently have a parcel locker on our apartment. I wonder if they will use that for orders like video games?
If you ordered with Amazon Prime, then yes. It will be maintained even after the trial expires. That's my plan if I'm going to buy at Amazon. I still have their free Amazon Prime for 30 days.
Not sure myself, better to ask a live chat agent to get a guarantee one way or another.

Yop. Im saying the same thing atm. I think my support for AAA games will go downward in a near future, will wait for rebate etc.
There is no freakin way im going to pay 79.99 for a game.In the past it was justified, box, cartridge, manual. Now you buy a game and nothing come with it.
Seriously, the jacking price of 69.99$ US for a game will hurt the industry. And NO, they wont force me to pre-order to save.
Im crossing my fingers that sales will go down this christmas for the benifit of the gamer. Seriously, if sale are the same at that new price, im going to get very depressed.
You can also chat with them to 100% verify it. But I'm at least sure it will work that way since you already ordered with Amazon Prime on it.
Cool. I guess it works out to the same prices anyway (not a math guy).
I can confirm. I have stuff ordered from last E3 with a prime trial which is still free express shipping
Very easy to cancel particular games out of the order on amazon. No need to call customer service.
Just cancel online.

I have Fallout 4 PC pre-ordered but it's basically a backup. After 30%, Fallout 4 PC (and any $79.99 PC game) is $55.99 ($63.27 after 13% tax in Ontario). Green Man Gaming has it for $59.99 USD. At an exchange rate of, say, 1.25 CAD = 1 USD, and after an assumed 23% discount (that's the usual GMG voucher value), I get $57.75 CAD. But GMG charges immediately, so I'm basically waiting to see what I can get from them closer to the release date.
yeah, it'll work. they really can't do shit about it, right? you paid for the first game already.

They definitely need to update their list. Big games like NHL 16 and Persona 5 are missing.
God of War III PS4 for $28 is not bad at all.
Some games which have SKUs which are not eligible as of yet:
Scalebound
Crackdown
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Halo 5
Battlefront
Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Yoshi's Wooly World
NHL 16
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Star Fox Wii U
Zelda Wii U
Devil's Third

I don't think a SKU is up anywhere for Persona 5 at this point (since Best Buy's ps3 one is gone), so doubtful Amazon will have it up. Best Buy likely will since they are willing to post listings preemptively.
Deus Ex Mankind Divided (PC)
Deus Ex MD is up for Xbox One and PS4

Hmm, my credit card expires in november so I hope that doesn't screw me over. Futureshop stopped me from ordering a game last time because it was set to come out after that and I had to use amazon. And I hate using amazon for games because I always pre-order a metric shit ton and then return them to futureshop if they are flops.

I was thinking, the code is redeemable multiple times right?
Wouldn't this be a smarter option?
1. Include a game you REALLY want.
2. Put 2 more games that you know are coming out sometimes near the explosion of the sun, probably Kingdom Hearts 3 and whatever else.
3. Do this multiple times for each game. That way you can cancel and not worry.
Unless I am missing something. Lets say you put 10 preorder games into 1 order. And you start cancelling games from that order, does the whole deal fall apart? Or can you cancel games that don't fall below the 3 game limit?

Only if you fall below 3 games.
I don't know man. It smells fishy to me. Basically everyone can do that, pre-order two other games that aren't coming out this year, then get the game they want for -30% and cancel the two other ones.
I'm after the PC version, which doesn't seem to appear on the site at the moment.

Is this something we want to do, keep track of pre-order games not yet on the list? Because I can toss a few more titles in:
Metal Gear Solid V
Need For Speed
Tales of Zestiria (PS3 and PS4--PS3 page is up but unavailable, PS4 not yet on Amazon)
Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX
Persona 5 (PS3 and PS4, not yet on Amazon)
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (PC only, not yet on Amazon)
Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem (not yet on Amazon)
You can cancel as long as the total order doesn't fall below 3. Big orders are safer imo

Or hell, do we want to just take this to a Google Doc? I'd be happy to keep it updated, especially as Amazon starts adding more games during the week (hopefully).
