Amazon Launches Buy One Get One Free Promotion for Select PS4 Games

Hardcore Gamer: Those who have pre-ordered a PS4 game will receive a code that grants them a free PS4 game when they purchase one at full price.

[GarrusVakarian]

No UK promotion?!

FML.

I wonder what happens if you haven't pre ordered any games? Do you get the email as soon as you pre order a couple?

[MaximusPrime_]

im from UK and i found this disgraceful :(

[GarrusVakarian]

Fingers crossed they do something similar closer to the UK launch for the PS4.

[mp1289]

got the email for getting the killzone bundle, now i can get battlefield and ghosts to complete my shooters collection, or maybe get something else instead of ghosts lol

[Lucreto]

We never got any of these deals so I don't expect this to be any different.

We might just might get £5 off during the black Friday deals.

[GarrusVakarian]

I just spoke with an Amazon UK customer service representative and he said that they have no information on any such promotion in the UK ........-_-

[xHeavYx]

You UK people should email Amazon till they do the same.
Personally,I was hoping InFamous would be part of the promotion, because I don't see anything interesting other than Killzone and AC

[mikeslemonade]

I got mine. I was hoping for it just to be essentially a BOGO. It's essentially buy 2 get 1 free.

I have COD already.. which I want to get rid of, and then I thinking about getting Killzone and BF. Or Killzone and Knack. Or I can get BF and KZ, and then sell the garbage COD.

Any takers want COD GHOSTS for PS4 for $40?

[Eonjay]

I was able to contact Amazon. I had the delayed Watch Dogs pre order and didn't get the email. They said they will email me a code for a free game! AMAZON BABY!!!!!!!

[zeee]

Yes, got the email today. It was awesome even though I had cancelled my pre-order of BF4 this very morning! LOVE AMAZON :)

[dantesparda]

Nice got the email. And to the UK guys, sorry to hear your plight, but there are two reasons this isnt happening over there (i assume), 1.) Target is doing the promotion here and Amazon is just trying to match them and 2.) Black Friday

[Docknoss]

Too bad all the PS4 dayone exclusives suck and suck hard

[GirlOnFire]

@Dockness
Useless comment of the year. Thanks for taking the time and comment for the beautiful PS4. Enjoy your launch games which none of them attract me.
SIDE NOTE: AMAZON GAVE ME A FREE GAME CODE I LOVE THEM!! I DONT EVEN HAVE AN GAME PREORDERED. JUST PS4!! YAY

[thereapersson]

Everyone who is wishing for their retailers to do a promotion of this nature, you need to e-mail the company and let your voice be heard. I work for a company that pretty much thrives off it's customers' feedback. They know this because in the business world, communication is key. Yet some companies forget that the people they serve are somehow on the low end of the "need to know" scale.

I found a good article on the subject

http://smallbiztrends.com/2...

[Thatguy-310]

Have Killzone with my launch
Going after Knack,Ghost and Battlefield! Damn 5 more days!!!! So Psyched

[aceitman]

ghost is not included with the b2g1free

[SpitFireAce85]

Did you call Amazon or they just sent you
a code via email?

[mp1289]

@SpitFireAce85...in case you haven't preordered any games.

Enter GR8TNESS and get 3 games for $120 basically, assuming you live in the US.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/fe...

[AlexanderNevermind]

Yeah I pre-ordered from Best Buy and they still sent me the code GR8TNESS. Don't have to have pre-ordered the system from Amazon. Very Good Deal.

[Donnywholovedbowling]

"FML"?

What are you like 16?

[GarrusVakarian]

Sorry, i wasn't aware there was an age restriction on that abbreviation.

"No but there is maturity restriction on that phrase."

Im 100% confident that there isn't.

[Donnywholovedbowling]

"F--- my life"

No but there is maturity restriction on that phrase.

[wtopez]

NOBODY LIKES YOU DONNY.

[Snookies12]

"Donny, you're outta your element!"

Sorry man, sorry... I just had to...

Big Lebowski is just too awesome.

[bub16]

we always get shat on, seeing as we pay shed loads more for out games aswel!

[aceitman]

from the site-Please note: Call of Duty: Ghosts and Skylanders Swap Force Starter Packs are sold separately at the full price. and How many times can I use the promo code? The promotion is limited to one per customer.

[jessupj]

Doesn't ship to Australia.

smh

[BadlyPackedKeebab]

I dont see it happening in the uk as nobody else is doing it. In the us they have the stick of others doing it so they feel the need to compete.

[KingKevo]

It's interesting. I thought Amazon Europe all had similar promotions going on, because in Germany, ONLY of you did pre-order the PS4, Amazon has a promotion where you can choose one free game from Sony (KZ, Knack, DC (that comes out next year, lol)) if you buy 2 3rd party games (BF, CoD, NFS, FIFA or AC). The promotion started this October.

But I'm pretty sure that there will be more to come, especially in the UK, where, unlike the rest of Europe, the Xbox brand was always bigger and Sony is obviously trying to get people to migrate to the PS family. Great promotions await :)

[davidDIRK]

This article is bullshit. I just called amazon and this deal don't exist. These dinks need to get a life. Probably never even got laid.

[grumpc]

Do you reckon if we're in the UK we can just use the US Amazon website and have it shipped to us?

[admiralvic]

Nothing for me yet. I really hope mine is just delayed.

[Starbucks_Fan]

Me neither. I ordered it after it was first available

[iiwii]

I have Destiny preordered and have not recieved an email either

[admiralvic]

It has to be a launch title

[iiwii]

But someone above said they ordered watchdogs and got a code.. Thats not a launch title.

[jay2]

Come on TREAT THE UK WITH SOME RESPECT!

[NJShadow]

Just an FYI, this also applies to games that came with your PS4 console pre-ordered. I have the Killzone Launch bundle on pre-order, and I was sent a code. Snagged two PS4 titles for $60. Pretty awesome promotion!

[Lwhit6]

Same here! Got the bf4 bundle and now I'm going to get assassins creed 4 for free! Now I just have to step foot in that nasty place called gamestop and cancel my ac4 order there!
GREATNESS AWAITS

[JetsFool3500]

We on the same boat I got a free ac4 with my bf4 bundle

[elmaton98]

Me too I got knack and killzone. Now comes Friday and I'll be a happy man.

[GameSpawn]

Grabbed Knack and Injustice PS4 Ultimate.

I'm not big on a lot of the other games in the list and ACIV was the reason I got the code in the first place.

If I really had to stretch I'd get NFS:Rivals, but my motivation for it is only a minor point above not getting it at all.

I gave up interest in FPS a long time ago. I still have yet to finish Resistance 2 and still haven't picked up Resistance 3 if this helps paint my loss of interest in FPS. I just don't have the motivation.

[Silly Mammo]

Just grabbed KZ And Knack. Used my $41 reward points too. 2 games for $18.

[thehitman]

Btw you don't need to buy another game if you have it bundled. All you have to do is go to customer service after you used the code that you already got and have them delete one extra game and they will reduce the other game to 0. For those that didn't want to buy another game after the bundle.

[_FantasmA_]

Seriously WTF? I just purchased KZ like an hour ago on Amazon. I hope I get this shit.

[NJShadow]

Account > Orders > Cancel Order > Replace Order with Three Titles > Get Deal > Fixed.

[_FantasmA_]

I wish I could but I have a prepaid debit card :(. Its a pain in the ass to get the money refunded and I basically have to have Amazon call up my card company and ask them to return the money to me. I still got $10 off because of a credit they gave to people who had preordered the Watchdogs bundle.

[NJShadow]

Amazon has stellar customer service, so I'd recommend giving them a call or chatting with them online to see if you could get the promo. Honestly, if you put forth the effort, they should be able to pull up your history and perhaps shoot a code out to you. Give it a try, you've got nothing to lose.

[Sitdown]

I have talked to two people....one said the promotion was sent out to random people; other said I did not qualify because Destiny was not an eligible title. At the end of the day, they both pointed me two Tuesday's promotion, which I believe is essentially the same type of promotion.

[proskatercam]

Makes me wish I preordered a PS4...

[Campy da Camper]

Still a deal worth doing if you are planning on getting one later. You would buy these games then so might as well get one for free.

[TH3 GAM3]

I just receive the email, already took advantage of it.

[prodg52]

I preordered killzone when watchdogs was delayed. Just got a code and ordered Injustice and got Lego MS free with the promotion!

[TheLiztress]

Pretty good deal for those gettinga PS4 on release from Amazon.

[vickers500]

Is it necessary for you to have already pre-ordered a game first? I held off pre-ordering any games specifically for a deal like this (buy 2 get one free).

[cyclindk]

Think maybe so, but there's still time to preorder. Also, I believe the promotion will only extend until the 16th of November.

"Dear Amazon.com Customer,

Thank you for pre-ordering multiple PS4 games. You have qualified for a free game from a selection of PS4 titles.

Add one of the qualifying items to your cart and at checkout apply your individual claim code: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.

Your savings will be displayed in your Order Summary. Offer is valid through November 16, 2013."

[GarrusVakarian]

Do you think it would still work if you only pre ordered a single game, or does it have to be multiple games?

[elmaton98]

Multiple games I'm afraid otherwise you wouldn't take advantage of this promotion.

[STICKzophrenic]

It can be a single game.

"Dear Amazon.com Customer,

Thank you for pre-ordering a PS4 game. You have qualified for a special Buy One, Get One promotion on select PS4 titles."

[cyclindk]

Well from the article it indicates a singular game needing to be preordered, but I preordered three and only have one code to show for it, so not sure if/when I will get any others, or for WHAT games if that is indeed one of the particulars of the promotion.

The only game I have preordered which is about to/or already shipped is BF4, so maybe I will get more codes when ACIV and KZSF ship as well??

Pitty I had to waste it on CoD, but not much left except Knack maybe...

[GarrusVakarian]

"The deal is only valid once, so don’t plan on ordering several games."

Well that settles that.

[cyclindk]

Ah i see, to the above comment, guess use another credit card and email perhaps. Different account to take advantage of the deal again.

[GarrusVakarian]

Now there's a good idea!

But i have to wait until this comes to the UK Amazon....if it ever does.

[wsoutlaw87]

i pre ordered a ps4 bundle on 2 accounts and got a free game in both

[AceBlazer13]

Alright, that's it, screw digital i'm stickin to retail

[HighResHero]

I do both and usually buy new games locally.
Some games just belong in my physical collection.

[llMurcielagoll]

Wow that was quick! I literally JUST got the e-mail of buy one get one free PS4 games with the redemption code!

Im putting in my order for PS4 games on Tuesday!

[Goro]

Only in the US? FFS, Why do we Europeans always get screwed.

[Half-Mafia]

We got a pretty great deal with the PS4 bundles. I got the bundle with killzone, extra controller and camera for £429. Which is a saving of over £60.

[Goro]

£429 is $686
You can get all the stuff you mentioned in Amazon US for $499.
So your paying an extra $187.

[wsoutlaw87]

ps4 kz a ds4 and camera would be 580$

[Kingthrash360]

i wouldnt say always...ps+ for eu has been steller....but yeah they screw yall on everything else.

[cheesecracker]

well canada don't get it either

[EdFry]

Gooby plz,
You guys get THE BEST Playstation Plus deals so I don't wanna hear about 'WE ALWAYS GET SCREWED' you can't win them all. You guys are doing alright though :P

[Emilio_Estevez]

Already ordered my games, they sent me a code for a free one.

So this is retro-active, check your emails if you bought games through them.

[cyclindk]

Holy freaking awesome! This is great!

[CruelAib]

Canada also yesss!!!!! but what happen if i pre ordered 2 game.. i should have 2 code right^

[AgitatedOcelot]

Where do you see anything about Canada? I had AC4 preordered, and canceled because I was waiting out to see if there would be a promo. Now I added my pre-order back and I didn't get any promo code at all as of yet.

[CruelAib]

Did you received the email?

[Lboogieskells]

I got nothing yet??:(

Amazon pleeese

[TheTwelve]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Ipunchbabiesforfun]

AMAZING!!!

[Eonjay]

These deals are getting crazy! Love the pricing competition between retailers. By the end of the week, they will be paying us to buy the games lol.

[dantesparda]

Lol, I know right

[Lboogieskells]

OMG it worked! yes!

Killzone SF

Need for speed Rivals

NBA2k14

[come_bom]

Sony is going all out to win the american market.

Good for the consumer. Competition is good.

[Enemy]

The wording seems weird.

Is it only Buy One Get One Free AFTER you've already pre-ordered a PS4 game? There's already a qualifying game coming with my bundle. Does that mean the promotion only works if I buy another game? That would make it buy 2 get 1 free.

So say I ordered the Killzone: Shadow Fall bundle, will I get Battlefield 4 free?

[GarrusVakarian]

"So say I ordered the Killzone: Shadow Fall bundle, will I get Battlefield 4 free?"

Yeah i think that's right.

[jonatan221]

So this is basically the same as the Target buy 2 get 1 free, right?

[labyrinthworm]

No - this is Buy One Get One ($30 per game essentially), where are Target is Buy TWO Get One ($40 game essentially, but you have to buy 3 as well)

[jonatan221]

Yeah, but in order to get the buy one get one free, you have to preorder a game that's coming out this week right? So it's buy 2 get 1 free lol

[ELFANKOOSH55555]

is this offer only for preordered games cause I want to order killzone shadowfall and it's in stock now plus another game ?

[mkis007]

i just purchased killzone so ill tell you if i get the code

[mkis007]

LOL I just talked the rep into giving me knack for free, even though the game wasnt preordered. You may be able to do that too? But I think it was meant for preorderes only , the new buy2 get 1 free is meant for everyone else

[jmac53]

they ran out of AC4! I was going to do that and Shadowfall.

[1OddWorld]

If anyone doesn't have plans on using their code for what ever reason please PM me with it. I have not preordered anything yet {Very Broke} I am about to Preorder BF4 but would love to get Madden for free :D

[DunDee910]

If you're broke, don't buy a $400 entertainment console you idiot. You're a simp for this one.

[1OddWorld]

Uhm... I am broke in the "fun" money department. Meaning I can't afford two games at the moment just BF4. Sorry if I offended you by asking if some one wasn't going to use the code for what ever reason.

Thanks for the personal attack.

[ALARM-clock]

I pre ordered a PS4 on the US Amazon but haven't recieved the email yet... anyone else in the same boat?

[ALARM-clock]

Doh! I just realized you need to pre order a PS4 GAME for the promotion, not a console. Is it too late to pre order a game or was I supposed to have already done it before a deadline...?

[Smoey]

Gah please come to the UK I've pre-ordered two BF4's!

[UnrealThreats]

Wait. If I pre-order a game right NOW, will I get a code??

EDIT: Im waiting for a customer service associate from amazon to comment on the matter if you are going to pre-order a game now. Will post transcript on here.

[LoneWolf019]

please do post i want to know as well! thanks

[UnrealThreats]

The lady i talked said you had to have a previous order to get a code, but this happened: http://imgur.com/t3c2pmv

[UnrealThreats]

The lady I spoke with from amazon said you had to have pre-existing order to qualify, but this went down: http://imgur.com/t3c2pmv

[crazyclown]

Wonder what the deal will be Tuesday...thanks for the heads up

[Scatpants]

If you don't see your code check your junk mail thats where mine was

[Scatpants]

I'm kind of pissed. I cancelled my NFS preorder so I could apply this code to it but now it says it isn't available. all other versions are available.

[KalCraig]

I'm a bit confused. Do you have to have one game pre-ordered (purchased) THEN buy another game before getting the code, or if I just pre-order, say Black Flag, I can get Knack for free (if that's one of the eligible titles)?

It seems it's really B2G1 free, which isn't what the article title says, unless I'm wrong. The only game I really want is ACIV. If it was truly B1G1, then I'd pre-order ACIV and then get Knack for free. Otherwise I'll just keep my Black Flag pre-order with Gamestop.

[Rockefellow]

It is just B2G1. There's nothing special about this. They're offering a B2G1 deal to EVERYONE, but to people who've already pre-ordered a game, they're offering them a coupon so they can add just one other game to get one for free. You still need to buy another game.

[AgitatedOcelot]

I tried putting Killzone, Knack, and AC4 in my cart just now on Amazon.com and it still showed a total of over $180.00

[bestofthebest]

You have to wait for Tuesday for the deal this if for people who preordered 1 game that already shipped, nice launch lineup you got I did the same

[mkis007]

Someone needs to break the story of killzone breaking the top 100 on best sellers of 2013 at amazon... Before its console is even out.

[CaulkSlap]

Awesome. Canceled BF4 and AC4 pre-orders on Newegg and did this. Code from Killzone bundle. Amazing that next-gen games are getting such good discounts and promos already.

BTW Newegg is often great for pre-orders if you watch the promos. Was getting them for $48 each, no tax free shipping. But Amazon is even better in this case despite being taxed (WA).

[matrixman92]

wow...i just went through a huge ordeal at best buy trying to match targets deal. But I DO have AC4, killone, and bf4 in hand right now

[Soldierone]

I take it the promotion doesn't apply to bundles....... ugh....

[ALARM-clock]

This is bad information, I foolishly ordered a game thinking I would get a promotion code for B1G1. I didn't, and now I can't cancel the order because they are already preparing shipment for Nov. 12th. If you're looking for the real B2G1 promotion here it is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/fe...

[NeMo_HeauxZ]

I just got off of the phone with Amazon. They told me there was no such promotion. The cs rep said she's been getting calls but it's not true.

[uncharted56]

I cant get Killzone SF to ship up here in Canada. It says it cant be shipped and I don't understand why. Can someone give me some insight as to why?

[AgitatedOcelot]

I just tried a live chat with Amazon.ca, and they told me they have no information about this in Canada, and I should contact Amazon.com

I showed them the article on Hardcore gamer in the live chat, nothing.

[msfidget]

I just live chatted also (US amazon) the guy I spoke to said he knew about the promotion and was sending my info to their promotional team. I think I pre-ordered a game that won't get me a promo code.

Chat
End Chat
You are now connected to Deepak from Amazon.com
Me:Hi! I pre-ordered a ps4 game and thought that I was supposed to get an email with a code for a buy one get one free ps4 game, but I haven't received that email.
Deepak:Hello, my name is Deepak. I'll be happy to help you.
I'm sorry to know that you haven't received that e-mail yet.
You need not to worry, I'll go ahead and will send it to the marketing and promotional team to check it and send you the code.
Me:Thank you!
Deepak:They will get back to you via e-mail within 1-2 business days.
It was my pleasure to help you.
Please allow me a minute so that I can also send you a confirmation e-mail about the same which you can keep as a proof of our conversation.
Me:ok
Deepak:Thanks.
You are now reconnected with Deepak.
Deepak:I'm sorry we were disconnected. I can pick up where we left off.
Me:Ok, thanks. Got the email. Do you know about the promotion I'm talking about?
Deepak:Yes and I've forwarded it to the marketing and the promotional team because that is something which can be done by them only.

My bf ordered a game on the list. Will post again if he gets the code.

[Rockefellow]

Or you could just cancel the order you already have, and just apply it to the B2G1 starting on Tuesday. That's got to be easier at this point.

[shuuwai]

Nothing for Canadians, We're apart of North America too.
*shake fist*

[_FantasmA_]

Okay. Ive got it. Its not a buy 1 get 1 free. I mean that would just be too good to be true and a rip off for Amazon. You had to have a pre order or purchase before yesterday. Then if you buy another, you get another free. Its basically the buy 2 get 1 free deal but its dated back because it technically doesn't start until Tuesday but Amazon doesn't want people to cancel their pre orders. I bought Killzone, but I would need to buy another game to get another one free.

If my information is correct then you still need two have purchased two games to get one free. If my information is in incorrect, can someone please post the information from the email here so that the confusion can be cleared up.

[Sci0n]

all these awesome PS4 game deals ahhhhh lol

[KERV0RKIAN]

I pre order bf4 today and I only recieved a code for the battlefield DLC.waiting on my free game fingers crossed!!

[BluEx610]

Just cancel your order and place your order for Tuesday for the B2G1 deal, it's essentially the same thing.

[leemo19]

Just put my code, Assassin Creed Black Flag can't wait.

[tenacious_b]

I'm passing up this promotion only because I ordered a 1.5TB HDD for my PS4 so I will buy all of my games digital. I want to see how many games I acquire in PS4's lifetime instead of trading games in all the time.

[Kydawg]

Oooooh, look at Mr. Money bags here! J/K ;). Just make sure to keep all those games backed-up. You know in case of a lightning storm, a flood, a long drop, ect. (P.S. your'e going to need a few of those 1.5TB HDDs.)

[LakerGamerEnthusiast]

I'd gladly take that code off of you then.... lol :)

[bligmerk]

Awesome way to start a launch and retroactive for preorders is very cool.

[2pacalypsenow]

How do i get my promotional code?

[SynestheticRoar]

W@W. I'm jumping on this like a panther on deer.

[Naruto_Uzumaki]

can anyone help me if i buy/pre order two ps4 titles will get 1 free by email?

[BoriboyShoGUN]

you should, I purchased Killzone and BF4 earlier today just to make sure they didnt go out of stock! I spoke to Amazon like 20 minutes ago and informed them that I have not recieved a free game code. The guy said rest assured they will get with me within 24hours. But he was fully aware of the promotion, either way if theyre doing it on tuesday im sure that they will take care of the guys who purchased 2 games before that.

[2pacalypsenow]

Im confused.. is it Buy 1 get 1 free or buy 2 get 1 free?

[Ashunderfire86]

both, but one is only on tuesday for a limited time,while the buy 1 get one free is 11-10 to 11-16.

[CruelAib]

Wait is not in canada but i just received the code cause sometime i logged into amazon.com

[oODEADPOOLOo]

Here's what email looks like:

http://tinypic.com/view.php...

had game pre-ordered before promo. I blurred out code, for obvious reasons.

I'm guessing if you haven't already pre-ordered a game, like someone elese already pointed out then promo for you starts tues: http://tinyurl.com/k28tc5o
code(if you haven't pre-ordered before)is: GR8TNESS

if you have then they send you a personalized code.

[tigertron]

Why can't Amazon UK do this? I would love to have a free game with Killzone Shadow Fall.

[jjb1981]

I got nba 2k14 and madden 25 in the deal because I preordered killzone sf

[kurruptor]

This only works for preordered launch games or something? I have Destiny and Watch Dogs preordered, but I didn't get an email. I'm not getting anywhere with their customer support either.

[Cdilson]

I picked up Killzone, NBA 2k14 and COD Ghosts at Target. Since the store I went to didnt gave Knack, I ordered it and NBA 2k and KZ from Amazon. I really dont want COD , what should I do since NBA 2k on Amazon probably wont be shipping this week from amazon?

[oODEADPOOLOo]

you could get injustice its another two player game or battlefield?

[Cdilson]

Can I return a game to Target, sent to me from Amazon? As long as they are the same title ?

[Syleros]

you realise this is the same thing target has right? "Those who have pre-ordered a PS4 game will receive a code that grants them a free PS4 game when they purchase one at full price.

[YoloSwag420]

YoloSwag#420 #PS4

[Kilburno]

I chose Assassin's Creed IV, which will arrive at my doorstep on November 14th. My copy of Need For Speed won't arrive until December 27th, however. Is this the case for anyone else?

[solid_snake3656]

I called amazon and they said its only for people who had already preordered multiple games. And they would send those people a code for a free game. The reason they're doing that is because amazon is running a promo buy 2 get 1 free starting on the 12th. So it would have been unfair for those people who already preordered games a while ago. So they said sorry you didn't know about this, so they gave me a $25 Amazon gift card and a free one month extension to my amazon prime account

[Lionsguard]

I had a few other discount promotion codes, got two games for $48. Love you Amazon, call me.

[papajag]

Deleted this yesterday without reading. Thank god it was still in the trash folder. Amazing deal. Amazon has never let me down. Best place to get everything. Looks like I'm getting Knack.
