The following are CAGs most ordered games from Amazon.com (through CAG affliliate links) during Q3 2009 (July 1st to September 30th).

Thanks to Amazon's excellent store credit bonus deals, there were an usually large amount of pre-orders this quarter. Pre-order bonuses such as figures and books are nice, but clearly credit/gift cards are a much stronger incentive. As you will see from the chart, Halo 3: ODST smoked the competition, thanks in part to a $15 games credit and $5 MP3 credit.

1. Halo 3: ODST
2. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
3. Tales of Vesperia
4. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
5. Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition w/ Artbook
6. Batman: Arkham Asylum
7. ExciteBots: Trick Racing with Wii Wheel Bundle
