NewEgg: Save $10 on All Pre-Orders $39.99 and Up

I hate it when companies shut down the discount promotion early when they feel like they are giving away too much money. The promo says 72 hours! Either offer it or don't run the promotion at all.

Venting aside, I got all my major pre orders in already earlier today. I thought about going back and grabbing a couple more games tonight but I guess not anymore.
 
I got in all the WiiU and 3DS games I wanted, and my 2 most wanted PS3 games.

I could have gone for a few more PS3 games, but maybe this is for the better. lol

Usually these kinds of codes have a limited number of uses so people don't go overboard.

A little bummed I missed out, but oh well.

According to CAG, "the fine print says til 8/5 or until funds are no longer available."

So yeah
 
I had a feeling this was going to happen. As soon as I heard about the deal I pre-ordered every last thing I knew I was getting day one. It was too good a deal and I knew it would get hammered to the point where Newegg cancelled it.
 
Ah fuck, I would've gotten like 6 games I wouldn't normally buy at full price with this.

Oh well. I guess it's back to the waiting game.
 
Damn, tried to add the promo code and it said that it's no longer valid.....

Maybe that's a good thing though. I already pre-ordered 4 3DS games from Newegg because they had them for $29.99, my wallet has been crying. Really wanted to pick up Luigi's Mansion too though....
 
I got...

Luigi's Mansion
Paper Mario
Code of Princess
Castlevania
Zero Escape
Animal Crossing
Sonic Racing Transformed (Wii U)
Zombi U (Wii U)

So I'm saving $80, if only I had seen it sooner
 
Oh well, I'll just wait for another deal with Animal Crossing. It's not like this game is coming out this year anyways, right NoA?
 
Any 360 games I should be noting for the rest of the year? Anything Japanese?

I'm in for Assassin's Creed III and getting Borderlands 2 elsewhere.

No CoD/Gears/Halo, please.

I might trade it for another game when the time comes since im not big on animal crossing. I would've rather had Rayman I think lol.
 
I got Ragnarok Odyssey, Virtue's Last Reward, and Soul Sacrifice. Nice deals. Might get Resident Evil 6 Anthology Edition later this weekend.
 
It's working again. I just ordered:

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Last Story w/Art Book & CD
Assassins Creed III
Code of Princes
Persona 4 Golden
 
Butts, I just went crazy:

Vita
Ragnarok Odyssey
Soul Sacrifice
P4 Golden
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

PS3
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Metal Gear Rising

basically every game I'm looking forward to in the next couple of months.
 
3DS:
Harvest Moon: A New Beginning
Luigi's Mansion 2
Paper Mario Sticker Star
VLR - (Though if there's no pre-order bonus, no buy)

Vita:
PASBR
Asscreed Liberations
LBP PSVITA
Sly 4
VLR - (Though if there's no pre-order bonus, no buy)

I was thinking about Animal Crossing 3DS, but that's a kind of game I definitely would buy digital for if anything.
 
It really depends on each individual game. A higher profile game like Grand Theft Auto will probably have RDD, whereas a more obscure game will not.

Thanks for answering. Looking into it a bit more, Borderlands 2 has the option available on amazon but for another $10! That's insane. I think I will just handle the wait and buy it for cheaper through newegg.

Edit: Didn't realize it was guaranteed 3 day shipping. That sealed the deal. Finally a deal for console BL2.
 
I'm torn on Castelvania Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate (name is approaching Capcom territory of silly). I might just wait for it to go on sale and play it closer to Lords of Shadow 2's release.
 
glad the code works again i thought i missed out. got two ps3 games (Wrath of the White Witch and Sonic Racing) although i don't plan to get a ps3 until the new cheaper version comes out or a black friday deal.
 
What are the best PS3 games coming in 2013 that aren't the Last of Us? May want to add some PS3 stuff just to have a cheaper price lock on it until release

I should mention that true release day delivery only costs 99 cents. I was able to get Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance on release day for only a buck!

If they're charging $10, it's not RDD, just a standard overnight shipping fee.
 
Already have NSMB2 preordered from before.

Also picked up Luigi's Mansion and Paper Mario. Always good to get Nintendo titles for less than MSRP because they go on sale so infrequently. Probably going to put at least one of those away for a Christmas gift to save a clueless relative from having to shop for me.

They must of not had the option then. I went all the way to the end of the checkout and the only option that was applicable was labeled as "1 day shipping" with green text under it: "Get it release day yata yata date and such".

Even if I missed it, it's alright since this is only 2 extra days of wait anyways. I can handle that (free shipping from amazon for example used to take near 6 weeks to get here).
 
Oh good it works again. I didn't get NSMB2 earlier because I don't even own a 3DS yet. But noticed a good Best Buy deal ($180 for 3DS + Kingdom Hearts) so I'm gonna pick that up and just put in pre-order for NSMB2.

From what I understand now, release date delivery is only included for cheap if you have Prime now. Non-Prime members can still get it by selecting one/two-day delivery.

Ah, I see. I had no idea that this distinction has started to take effect. The last time I ordered using release day delivery was back in May. (never been a Prime member)

Even though, I'm not surprised that Amazon has made this move in an attempt to slash shipping costs.

thx for the info
