$10 credit for their Instant video service. Not awful but I don't necessarily care for bonuses not related to the game

Stupid government hurt Amazon. I had to pay 4 dollars tax on top of shipping since I let Prime expire..... Ended up paying over 70 dollars for a game. They also messed up super saver shipping, I used to get games fast. I didn't get my last game till a week later....

I still love Amazon for other things, but for games I want on release day I think I'm going elsewhere unless they bring back 99 cent release day delivery. For a person that ships a lot on Ebay, media mail isn't that expensive.

i know bro, im paying like $90.00 for the collectors. It used to be so cool not paying tax

ill be using the $10 credit for Bioshock:infinite.

If you mean the $10 credit from buying The Last of Us, you won't be able to use it to help buy another game. It's for their instant video service, nothing else.

I'm just wondering, but which state do you live in? My state still is tax free for Amazon. They actually passed a bill that allowed Amazon to stay tax free. And as for the shipping, I have Prime, so I get it either the next day or two days later. But, my friend who doesn't have Prime usually gets his games in about four days. I hate that you are having such bad service with Amazon.

Soldierone4062d ago

Arizona, they just forcefully passed the law to force Amazon to start collecting taxes. They threw a fit about it.

They also have a shipping center here, so it doesn't make sense. The last game I bought with Super Saver they literally held on to it for several days, then shipped it. I get stuff the next day when they finally ship it, they just hold it forever. It used to be super fast either way.

I just have no point in buying Prime right now, especially since I'll have to pay taxes anyways. Like I said i still use Amazon for everything else, but if I want a launch day game I'll just go to gamestop.

Heisenburger4062d ago

:( I'm sorry you had a bad day.....

This game has turned out to be such disappointment. I just don't think extra incentives can save it now!

GamersRulz4062d ago (Edited 4062d ago )

What the hell are you talking about? the game hasn't released yet!!

rezzah4062d ago

What is so disappointing about it?

And what were your expectations?

DigitalRaptor4062d ago

C'mon guys, comment history...

rezzah4062d ago

I know, but asking questions to expand on their reasoning corners them; only if they wish to say more.

By avoiding simple reasonable questions makes their intent even more obvious to the passive eye. This way people can mark them and likely ignore future comments.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast81d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs78d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast78d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs76d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast76d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer81d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6980d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs78d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6977d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger125d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2381d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid125d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast124d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
