No problem. Worst case email one more time, you never know. In my experience sometimes its taken just a diff CS rep who will give you a break.
 
Boy this launch ended up a lot heavier game-wise for me than I thought.

Got Hot Shots on PSN
Wipeout via Amazon last week
Picked up Marvel and Lumines last week
Just ordered BlazBlue, Rayman, and FIFA.
 
Wow fast response. I think I scored. This is the e-mail I got back:

Hello,

Now I guess the question is, do I have to pick from their list? Or any Vita game will do? Do I have to pick a $30 game or will a $39.99 game work? Man I wish they just gave me a credit so I can buy MLB =)

Probably just any game on the list. Good job.

I was thinking of using my credit for something else or a later released date game like Gravity Daze, but chose Rayman instead.
 
I posted this in the Vita thread, but through Amazon chat I was able to not only qualify my Wipeout order for this deal, but the lady never asked me to purchase another game before she gave me credit to get the third. I pretty much got a free game through their support (or a B1G1). I'm going to buy another game just to make it a legit B2G1 in my mind.

When you do that you'll get another free game. :)
 
Finally ordered my Vita today!

Picked up Hot Shots, Wipeout, and Lumines with this deal. Had some Best Buy Reward Zone credits and picked up a 16 GB memory card too. I'm sad that Hot Shots won't be here until the 23rd, and hopefully Wipeout will come back in stock in the next week.
 
Wow, so I was hoping for $30 in credit, but Amazon managed to exceed my expectations:

Amazon said:
In order to take advantage of this promotion, you must place a qualifying order during the specified promotion period while supplies last. We're unable to apply special discounts to items ordered before or after the dates of the promotional offer.

As you are our valuable customer, I've made an exception to our standard policy. I've requested a refund of $49.96 (item cost of Uncharted: Golden Abyss) to your MasterCard.

You'll see the refund on your MasterCard statement in the next 2-3 business days. Once processed, you'll be able to see the refund request here:

AW YEAH. Not only did they give me a cash refund, but they did it for the most expensive game out of the three (by 20 frickin' dollars).
 
So of course Rayman and Lumines "arrived" for me today according to Amazon. Amazon informed me I'm stuck sending back both titles at the cost of 10 bucks in order to take advantage of the promo, but oh wait Rayman and Lumines (despite amazon.com stating they arrived) never actually did!

UPS + my neighborhood = >:-|

Back on the phone...

*Refund given for the missing games :-), replacement three arrive Wednesday. Amazon, I'm sorry for yelling, I still love you. Best part, no return shipping costs since they were stolen.
 
Fuck me, I already bought and received Hot Shots Gold and ModNation from amazon last week. :|

Edit: Hmm maybe an email would get me something...

It's crazy how there's no standard. Everyone is getting something different.
 
So I just realized after I get my free game from Amazon, in order to get Virtua Tennis and Katamari, I would actually get another $29.99 game from Target for $5 more than if I got them from Amazon. If I spend $15 more, I could get a $39.99 game. Hrm, what to do. I was just planning to outright buy my last two games from Amazon but it doesn't make sense not to get another game for a couple bucks more right?

Ok need to cut one of these 4:

Uncharted
Rayman
Lumines
Hot Shots

Going digital with wipeout

Cut Uncharted - go to Toys R Us and get it for $39.99. Add an accessory (to push the total to $50+) and you'll get a $20 gift card!

They did nothing for me. I order stuff from them all the time :/

I'd stick to the list, I don't think the price matters though.

LOL and I did the chat talk after and scored myself $25 credit for being a loyal customer. I also had bought Uncharted and Fifa way back. He asked me to ship the games back and re-order and I said I was too busy and he was like well you have been great to amazon... here's $25 credit.

This all makes up for the buy.com/tigerdirect memory card bs.
 
I just got off the phone with amazon customer support they are giving me a $30 credit, I am very happy that worked out the way it did. I wish they sold PSN point cards though. I would much rather dl Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus but oh well.

I jumped on Amazon chat and raised concerns about them not including VT4, Katamari, and Ninja Gaiden.

Response: "I am sorry right now there is no information if these games will be added you'll be able to see that on the website. I am also forwarding your request to our specialized team so may be they'll add these games in the deal."

If more people go on the chat and request that games be added, it might just cause them to add more games.

Just emailed them about Virtua Tennis and Touch My Katamari. Hopefully they can add them by launch day.
 
I placed an order with them back on Feb 9th for 2 games, Wipeout and HSG and I have received those games already... I called Amazon support and they gave me a free game.

So much for getting Lumines on PSN. Figured for 26 bucks, worth saving nearly 10 dollars. Picked it up with Rayman and Hot Shots Golf. Also grabbed the card/memory stick carrying case.
 
was on the fence but this deal pushed me. finally ordered a wifi psv and got the 4gb card free to boot. didn't know amazon was doing that. UMVC3,Blazblue,Fifa,PSV and 4GB card for $330 is a deal I can't refuse. the only catch is I have to wait way past the launch since it's free shipping.

heh 4gb card for free? I dont see any such deal with the wifi vita.
 
I don't have any money right now, else I would be another PSVita owner (3G why not?). I'll be waiting to see if there are any sales after launch.

Same order!

I'm chatting with them as we speak to try and see what they can do for me also...

Curious.

What game did you get for free (as I'm sure you only paid $29.99 for both of those)

I got Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom. So essentially Buy Two Games at $29.99, get a $39.99 game for free. $20 a pop makes them pretty much 50% off each game =)

add the psv and 4gb card to your cart and you'll get a $19.99 promo credit at checkout.

edit: beaten.

Ahh okay... odd thats its not on the wifi page itself.
 
Amazon wouldn't help me out. I tried talking to them using their chat, as well as sending an email, and got denied twice. I was very polite both times and have amazon prime and order just about everything from them (even my groceries), for anyone who is curious.

Pretty lame that it is such a crapshoot (except for those who are getting free games, of course! :) )

I want to get Rayman. That will make my launch almost (absurdly) complete with 6 games....

I'll chime in with what they say. I'm gonna try and be relentless with this.

What I did was called them out on shipping them way early before launch and that you don't even have your system still and this sale takes place before the launch of the system. Pretty much implying that you shouldn't get hurt because they shipped way early. Worth a shot.

I was given a 39.96 credit to purchase BlazBlue. (already had a 3 game order with them for Lumines, Rayman and UMvC 3) this was even though I only paid 29.99 for the other two as you pointed out.
