The shipping delay is easily my biggest concern. I’ll be honest in saying it’s worth the extra $10 - $20 to have the game on opening day and be able to play with everyone else instead of waiting on the sidelines. Any insight into Amazon’s shipping habits would be greatly apprecaited.
Grafik; thanks for the information. I’m sure many here appreciate it.
I tried to order the PC version with the code and it gave me an error saying the code is from an international site and cannot be used with amazon.com. Even though I am on amazon.ca =(
I got an error when I tried to use the code at checkout on the amazon.ca store.
If you get this error as well then the problem you have is that you’re using an account that you’ve previously ordered something on. This promotion code works on new accounts only.
Normally when it’s a big title, you’ll receive it on launch date… normally…
Anyways, Gears 2 came at my door step on launch date.
Also, at EB you get a headband… Amazon doesn’t, but you save like 12 bucks?
I elected to go the pre-order route for the non CE because I don’t give a fuck about headbands or anime or homo colours or whatever else comes with it.
Amazon (if you take the free shipping) is $56.49
Retail is $79.09
Savings is $22.60
I think it’s worth waiting for. I may have to stay off the Internet to avoid losing my mind with everyone raving about the game (or shitting on it no doubt) but it seems a waste otherwise.
Worked for me when I tried it. Didn’t think it would at first because I’d bought from Amazon before but I guess it was from the .com and not the .ca site.
Went for the regular version. With the exchange rate 56 CND converts to 46 USD, not bad. And like Nagata said I don’t really care for the CE extras. The Anime and Soundtrack will be released on torrent/p2p anyway.
