Yeah, out of all the sites that sell games (gamestop, ebgames, toysrus, walmart, bestbuy etc) Amazon seems to deliver the best promotions and the best prices. I honestly don't remember last time I bought a game online somewhere else.

Amazon is a great site. Always now pre order from there.

I've been ordering from them for 3 years now. It's the best service around, especially with the $.99 release day delivery shipping.

But Amazon has Seriously cut back on the game credits they hand out. Hardly any games are lucky enough to get a $10 credit anymore, let alone a $20 one. I can't remember the last game that got me a $20 credit. They used to hand them out with any even Semi-major game.

I agree. I discovered Amazon right around the time that they were really pushing the trade in deals and was able to rack up over $100 of credit for games that would have probably netted me about $40 at Gamestop. Plus, since I am an avid gamer I get to rack up those $10-$20 credits. About every 4th game is almost free. I DO hate that they tapered those $20 credits down to a few select releases. But, it's still the best for me.

A lot of times Newegg has pre-orders for $47.99. I got Uncharted 3 and MW3 for that price last year. Recently they had Darksiders 2 for that.

I hope they announce more $10 future credit offers soon.
