Did you try adding the book to your cart? Once you start the check out it should ask you for payment method. Then you should see the option for credit amount of the book.

Thanks for the response.

I spoke to a rep and they said it might take 24 hours to post so no worries. It's a free trail after all. :)

Thinking of getting The Eyes of Bayonetta with this but I'm worried something else will catch my eye immediately after.

A hardcover artbook for free?

If anyone for some reason doesn't want to use their promotion, please consider helping an European buddy getting something. I'll pay for shipping.

Living up to your avatar name I see.

Jokes aside for people having trouble, I spent maybe 10 minutes just clicking around to different books, and only SOMETIMES would the offer pop up. So when I wanted to use it on Bloodborne, I just clicked around, always coming back to the book I wanted. Finally, voila, the offer was there for the book I wanted.

Maybe also try clearing your browser cache completely, and making sure you are signed in.

I'm getting the pricey books and ordered Megaman Tribute from Udon. The value should be $50 or less. Otherwise, the discount won't be applied.

90% sure I'm gonna get the Megaman Tribute given the price and it doesnt seem to be getting cheaper. I'll just buy The Art of Loish, Arts and Artifacts, and Splatoon for those prices anyway, $20-$30 is a lot easier to stomach than $45.

Either way fucking thanks for finding this deal, I would have never noticed it despite being on book pages all the time. Awesome late birthday gift for myself (Even though I already brought like 8 various books this week)

I got the Splatoon book for myself and asked my girlfriend to get me the Megaman tribute from her Amazon account. I'm going to hit up my siblings to see if they'll use their's, if not, I'll get more books. :]

Thanks for the free hardcover book info, picked up the Super Famicom Box Art Collection.

I need to border hop to pick it up at a parcel holding facility though, heh. Amazon is no friend of Canadians.

It's not working on the other amazon account. I didnt get the promo email.

Tried the promotional offer by signing up through the Audible page not the link provided.

Update:
6 reps from chat and still nothing.

Update 2:
7 reps and still nothing.

Update 3:
The promo email should arrive within 24 hours. Let's what happens tomorrow.

Yea good call, I'm getting this one as well with the promo. Looks really nice. Can't find anything else I'd be interested in at the moment.

Mega Man Tribute I guess. Didn't feel like digging around much, unless somebody made English artbooks for Ranma 1/2 or Urusei Yatsura I don't know about. ;_;

I can't seem to get access to the promo. I don't know if it's because I'm in Europe. Shame, I would have liked Zelda Art & Artifacts.

I really love the Wibalin material they use for the cover.

A closer look at my shelves, still organizing a bit and waiting on a few arrivals. Click for imgur and zoom if you're unable to read.

You have to get the banner to pop up on the book you want. It took me some time to get it to work, but here it is in my hands like 7 hours after.

Lame :X Tried clearing cache. It pops up when I log off, but it's gone when I log back in. I've never had audible for reference.

Oh well, rip

I successfully ordered the Splatoon art book but when I click the link in the email to to cancel the Audible trial, it's telling me I don't currently have a membership. I assume it'll take a day or so to show up but I sent an email to customer support anyway.

Right now, Amazon has a deal where you get a free hardcover book, if you sign up for a free 30 day Audible trial. You can just cancel right afterwards and not get charged.

The promo shows up as a banner at the top of the page. For example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1785653636/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Does the promo works if you buy multiple items in the shopping cart?

Info sharing:
The discount automatically applies to the most cheap book in the cart.

Strap on your hooker ...
Got Udon's Capcom Fighting Tribute artbook with the promo credit. I have and enjoy the SF and Darkstalkers ones, so it's a fair bet I'll dig this one too.

Bit annoying that they reprinted the Tribute line as hardcovers, though, as my copies of SFT and DST (and all my Udon artbooks, really) are the softcover ones. This one won't line up all nice.

this thread is reminding me that there isnt a Metroid Prime artbook

Click to expand...
Ugh, yeah, seriously.

Hopefully with the way their Zelda artbooks have been tearing up the charts, Dark Horse is examining and courting other Nintendo properties that might also do well. Metroid's not going to sell as well as Zelda, sure, but it'd likely do very well.

Big thanks for the heads up on that Amazon/Audible promo, but it's so hard to choose what to get...

Actually, general question for the thread, because my art book shelf is starting to get overloaded and I'm not sure the best way to organize it. I started of by category or contents (Video games/cartoons/individual artists etc.) and I like that, but the books are all different sizes so it's not as aesthetically pleasing. I also tried organizing by size but then I don't know where most things are. Looks like bwolfman is doing the latter? Anyone got opinions or otherwise good OCD organizing ideas?

Deal appears to be dead. I'm not even seeing the pop-up banner anymore. I would've probably gotten Amano's graphic novel (Deva Zan).

I'm sure whoever at Audible thought this promotion was a good idea is being fired right now though, lol.

wanted to get as close to the $50 limit on the promo as possible so i went with the Nintendo 64 Anthology Classic Edition. Cost $43.85 and is temporarily out of stock, but still works with the promo.
Click to expand...

If you're interested, I emailed the company that produced those and they had about 8 of the Kickstarter only books left (This is far after the KS campaign ended), so I asked for a price and got one of those; the KS version includes an extra book that has all of the N64 Box art as well as well as a special slipcase.

Oh yea, completely forgot. I contacted Darkhorse and asked if they’re planning a limited edition for the Rachet and Clank art book; I was told they are making a limited edition, but I was given no date or any other information.
