Was Amazon actually selling it for $29.99 before? Because it's back to $39.99 now if they were.

it's sold out. amazon isn't selling those copies.

 

[Rarutos]

So happy that Amazon price matched! Thank you Amazon! <3

Got my $10 refund email from Amazon. Unfortunately my game is sitting at the fucking UPS depot until Monday.

 

[friskykillface]

Got my refund as well


Amazon came through

 

[StickSoldier]

Does this mean I'm going to have to purchase KI from Gamestop?! :O

 

[AGITΩ]

Yeah I picked it up yesterday for the $29.99 price. I don't know if the deal was just one-day or if it is going to always be at that price though.

Deal is Running till the 31st.

Weird. The signs at my local Best Buy said the sale ends today.

At any rate, I lucked out. When I went to grab a copy, the spot on the shelf was empty; nothing but a plastic divider with the price taunting me. I decided to do what I normally try to avoid and asked an associate for help. They actually had several copies in stock, they were out back.

To top it all off, I got $11 in trade-in for RE Mercs 3D which I actually only paid $15 for on sale way back (at Best Buy, no less).

So in the end, I got KI for $19. Victory is mine! >

Prices Change every sunday, but when they redue the tags on Sunday it'll still be 29.99. It was the same thing that we had when disney put a lot of their games on sale for multiple weeks. The although the prices stayed the same, the tags get updates weekly.

Why I Love Amazon
A One Act Play
by
Risible

Our players are Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.com, and Risible, a poster on NeoGAF.com.

Jeff: "Hey Risible, would you like Kid Icarus for $40? I'll give you a free download of the 3DS Classics Kid Icarus if you pre-order."

Risible: "Why, I sure would Jeff."

Jeff: "Oh hey Risible, would you also like a $5 coupon good for $10 on my site you can use on Kid Icarus?"

Risible: "That would be fantastic, Jeff!"

Jeff: "Oh, you used your Amazon Visa card enough times so you have $20 worth of reward points, should I apply that to your order as well?"

Risible: "Thanks Jeff, you are far too kind."

Jeff: "Oh hey Risible, I know you didn't ask or anything, but our competitor dropped the price by $10 so I'm going to as well. I already applied the refund to your credit card so just letting you know."

Jeff: "So all told you spent about $5 on Kid Icarus, hope that's cool."

Risible: "I...I think I love you, Jeff."

Jeff: "We love you too, Risible."

They did price match yesterday. It was 8 hours after Chesskid told us how to report lower prices.

 

[Cuu]

Amazon told me it wouldn't price match the old price to give me the $10 refund.

Basically, because it is sold out, they wouldn't give me the $29.99 price.

edit: oops, the refund was in my email already =)

 

[Huff]

Didn't want to jump in at full price because of the controls. Went ahead and ordered now

 

[Tenck]

Monday can't get here soon enough. Been seeing some screenshots and it looks good.

Does anyone know if this come with the AR cards too? I know Club Nintendo is giving me some, but I want a few more.

Edit: It does ^^

Yep, 6 in the box.

 

[Femmeworth]

I have a $10 Best Buy reward certificate, so I guess I'll be getting this. $20 isn't bad if I end up really disliking the controls.

 

[Gravijah]

back in stock on amazon.

 

[Fantastical]

back in stock on amazon.

"Back-ordered. Due in stock April 30 -- order now to reserve yours."

"Back-ordered. Due in stock April 30 -- order now to reserve yours."

keep in mind that this means almost nothing.
i ordered mine yesterday when it said the same thing.

this morning i got this email from amazon:

"We have good news! We're able to get this part of your order to you faster than we originally promised:

"Kid Icarus: Uprising"
Previous estimated arrival date: May 03, 2012
New estimated arrival date: March 28, 2012"

not bad!

 

[Onion_Relish]

fastest bomba of all time?

I think the fastest bomba of all time was homefront. It dropped 20 bucks on the day it was released.

 

[jgkspsx]

I had to call Best Buy to get the credit. Email support is useless. But she actually refunded me $12, so I really got $11.40 off. Not bad, not bad.

 

[Like the hat?]

oh Amazon, I love you.
