Does the deal start now or tomorrow?

Doesn't go through for me right now.

 

[Kiro]

Where do you all find these games? I'm having trouble finding some titles and the Amazon Search is crap. Can we get links to a slew of games in the OT if possible?

 

[Sealtest]

you gotta use E3SAVE30 at check out.

And i'm pretty sure battlefront will work since I used multiple games not on the list

Thanks champ!

 

[Ledhead]

Sweet sweet Amazon. I am loading up my cart as we speak

 

[Zombie James]

Thank you, Amazon.

 

[Kiro]

Can someone confirm cancelling one game in a group of 4 would still keep the promotion for the other 3? (So we know it is better to get a long list in one order)

 

[Byron Bluth]

Tried battlefront and a few others and they didn't work. What games not on the list worked for you?

 

[diaspora]

Battlefront does not work. Neither does Halo 5, Crackdown, or Scalebound.

 

[Sealtest]

Only game I tryed was starfox wii u and it worked.

Actually looking at my account it did not work.. it just never showed the code didnt work on that item since I had 5 other eligible items.

 

[Tapejara]

Yesssss Amazon. Some games missing from that list (where's Battlefront?), but glad I won't have to pay MSRP for Until Dawn.

 

[Ledhead]

I have everything could possibly want in my cart now. I will give it a few days before checking out though. New games might be added, some existing ones may become eligible, etc...

 

[Zombie James]

I see some people on RFD are making multiple orders of three games. What's the point of doing that versus one order of however many games you want?

 

[Byron Bluth]

I have everything could possibly want in my cart now. I will give it a few days before checking out though. New games might be added, some existing ones may become eligible, etc...

Huh? Just check out! You can make multiple orders. Is it better to make one big order or multiple ones? Do you get more off of you get 5 games in an order versus 3?

 

[Ledhead]

Just personal preference. I had like 3 separate orders last year and it was getting hard to track haha

Does Amazon mainly use Canada Post? Going to be moving to a new apartment downtown Toronto and wanting to make sure of where the package would go if I'm not home to accept.

The only game I've come across that's not listed through this, which works with the E3 promotion is The Nathan Drake Collection.

Basically the game listing needs to show this.

If it's not there, then the discount is not going to get applied.

 

[c-murph]

Wait, what happens if one game gets a Collector's edition I want... Like KH3 or FF15?

 

[krae_man]

Yesssss Amazon. Some games missing from that list (where's Battlefront?), but glad I won't have to pay MSRP for Until Dawn.

Good taste, that game is dope. I still have it preordered from last E3.

 

[Kiro]

Just personal preference. I had like 3 separate orders last year and it was getting hard to track haha

Can you cancel one game in a big list and still have the discount applied to the rest?

 

[farisr]

Can you cancel one game in a big list and still have the discount applied to the rest?

Yes. As long as the you have 3 or more non-cancelled games in the order (after you've cancelled the games you want), the discount will still be applied.

 

[Yasumi]

Canceled JStars PS4 and created a new order with the PS3 version, since I only have one PS4 controller. Also grabbed Nep Rebirth 3 and Dungeon Travelers 2.

Can someone confirm cancelling one game in a group of 4 would still keep the promotion for the other 3? (So we know it is better to get a long list in one order)

I can confirm. After removing JStars:

Order Summary
Item(s) Subtotal: CDN$ 189.94
Shipping & Handling: CDN$ 0.00
E3 30% off promo: -CDN$ 56.98
Total before tax: CDN$ 132.96
Estimated GST/HST: CDN$ 17.29
Estimated PST/RST/QST: CDN$ 0.00
Grand Total: CDN$ 150.25

Yeah wtf, is Halo excluded?

Thanks!! Will make one big list then.

nothing. you can't upgrade your order to a CE.

Does Amazon mainly use Canada Post? Going to be moving to a new apartment downtown Toronto and wanting to make sure of where the package would go if I'm not home to accept.

For all my small packages like games, yes.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Do you get more $ off using the 30% off code if you have more games in one order?

I suck at Math but I'm thinking it doesn't matter. An order with 3 games will give just as much $ off per game as an order with 6. Right?

 

[mdubs]

Is there a list of those games that aren't in that link?

Battlefront 2 doesn't work does it?

Not as of now, but it might be added later.

The best thing to do for everyone looking at titles that aren't eligible yet is to use the customer service chat to ask if they will be added, since the reps will make a note of the request. Worth a try

Yes,

So 2 orders of 3 games, will get you the same overall discount as 1 order of all 6 games.

AMAZON HAS SAVED US

OH WHAT A DAY

WHAT A LOVELY DAY

 

[diaspora]

Yeah wtf, is Halo excluded?

Halo is excluded. Worth noting that Halo is $70 on Amazon, and $75 on BestBuy. Not only does Bestbuy have shittier discounts but their full priced games are more expensive too.

 

[mdubs]

After experimenting, even if you cancelled a game with an order of 3 games, the discount still remains. But it's better to make a long order rather than short ones, the reason why people do that is because they got in the habit from Best Buy's order system, but Amazon offers easy cancellations so there's no reason not to do a big order

 

[Lexxism]

UPS and Canada Post. Actually, UPS has this awesome UPS my choice which you can use to direct your order to a UPS point. This is pretty much handy for me

 

[Ledhead]

Can you cancel one game in a big list and still have the discount applied to the rest?

Yes, I did this last year. I think as long as you keep the number of active pre-orders over 3 the discount will apply to all. If you have 6 and cancel number 6, the other 5 are still good to go

 

[Kiro]

Do I need to select "Ship individually" or will they just do that even if I select "Free Shipping & All at Once"

 

[No_Style]

So far I only have 2 titles that I want: SFV and Ratchet & Clank. I need a third.

Do I need to select "Ship individually" or will they just do that even if I select "Free Shipping & All at Once"

Select the free shipping. They will ship games individually once it becomes available.

 

[diaspora]

I've cleared out Amazon's list of eligible games. Now I'm just loading my cart with games that aren't eligible yet.

I've made some preorders now, but if at the end, like last hour of the sale, all the games are still available and not "sold out" I'll probably create one giant order, so it's easier to manage.

 

[c-murph]

YAY!

E3 Christmas!!

 

[chrominance]

UPS and Canada Post. Actually, UPS has this awesome UPS my choice which you can use to direct your order to a UPS point. This is pretty much handy for me

Canada Post now has this too. I haven't tried it yet, though, and you have to give a different address from your normal one. Dunno if UPS works the same way (but also screw UPS).

 

[mdubs]

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

 

[Cloud Strife]

Yes!!!! Question though, if I sign up for Amazon Student, will the effect still maintain my shipping speed even if the trial expires? Like am I guareteed prime shipping?

Quote for new page, anyone know?

 

[Returners]

The Amazon code is not a 1 time use code ala Bestbuy's right?

 

[WrenchNinja]

The Amazon code is not a 1 time use code ala Bestbuy's right?

You can use it more than once. They're not being assholes.

 

[Tapejara]

Hm, I saw MGSV on the eligible games list (already have the CE pre-ordered, but I was hoping to get a discounted copy of the standard edition for my friend) when I was on my phone, but now that I'm at the desktop website it's not showing up.

Good taste, that game is dope. I still have it preordered from last E3.

Yup, been looking forward to it since it was re-revealed.

 

[Black Republican]

Amazon is as many times as you want, lol BB

Madden shows up in the list, but when you click on it, it doesn't show that and thus the discount won't work.

THANK YOU BIASED AMAZON.

PSA: Amazon charges you shipping for returning games.

 

[Luigi87]

Based Amazon. Allowed me orders of Batman, Danganronpa AE, and Fire Emblem if.
Now to see what pops up this coming week.
