I am starting to worry that my RDD will not be RDD.
I ordered back in September and still don't have an email stating that my order has shipped!
I'm in the same boat. I'm sure it will ship sometime today but I guess I'm just
too hyped for the game that it would fuck'n suck if I didn't get it tomorrow.
Got charged for it already though so that's a good sign. Let's go AMAZON!!!:bouncy::wall:

Why even buy mw2 when you have a silver account you will not be able to go online and the campaign is only 4-5 hours long and I believe it expires at the end of the year.
Because maybe it's a gift for someone?
Also, I have a 12 month Live card but nothing worth playing online ATM, so I'm holding onto it for now. But seriously, why do you care?

Just received my shipping confirmation. I live in San Diego and have prime so my RDD is automatic.
I have been burned in the past by RDD, but I complained to Amazon and they comped me $10.
I am hoping to get my $20 code soon so I can pre-order Assassin's Creed 2 and get that $10 credit!

To all who got Release Date Delivery: The orders typically don't ship until around midnight Eastern time. Just because they haven't shipped it yet doesn't mean it won't be there tomorrow.

I have release date delivery on this game (may have to get Amazon Prime when this 3 month trial is over with. I'm loving it), but it hasn't shipped yet. If I don't get my game tomorrow, does Amazon usually give you credit or something for being inconvenienced?

My friend called in amazon support because it was showing that his delivery date was going to be between nov 20-dec 1st. He did get the free shipping but he argued that since the game came out tomorrow they should be sending out tomorrow and at least getting it within 5-7 business days. He also threw in the fact that if he knew this that he would have gone with walmart and picked it up in the store and gotten the same deal. Lady in support gave him a $5 credit on his account but he said if she could change it to the RDD shipping and she said yeah so he basically got free RDD shipping because it was like $5.98 for RDD shipping. He then noticed within 30 mins that the game was being shipped.
So if anyone wants to bother customer service if their game hasnt shipped tomorrow to get $5 dollars back!

If I purchased a copy of MW2 and so did my brother (on his own account, own credit card), but we both have the game shipped to the same address, do you think Amazon will only honor one $20 video game credit?
That will suck if they do. A lot of households have multiple ppl/systems.
Yeah so I emailed customer service if they could apply the promotional credit to my gold box quick pick of god of war collection. They said they can't! Is there anyway?
I would hate to lose my quick pick discount! lolz

Here's a suggestion. If you already placed your pre-order on amazon. Make sure you are logged in. First Click on "Your Account" on the top right corner. Then on the "Orders" section click on "View Older Orders". what ever game you pre-ordered there should be a "View or change order" button. From there on try to apply the e-gift card.

That gives me an idea.... Hey guys, what do you think, of changing to RDD at the last possible minute. How likely do you think it is, that they'll get it to you on time? If they don't.. then your shipping will be free right? It then turns out to be better than FSSS... Seems like it's be done before.. does it work?

Do they leave games in front of the door for games? Anyone have previous experiences with them?
If they leave you the note of death, can you pick it up the same day?

Just now ordered this so that I can use the $20 credit on the 360 Arcade deal. I know I'll want this game, and I don't think it will get cheaper than $40 with free shipping and no tax, so I figured why not. I already have Left4Dead2 ordered from the EA.com gift card deal awhile back, though, so I'm going to have a lot to play for awhile. I really want to grab Dragon Age Origins, Forza 3, Tekken 6, and I'm interested in DJ Hero after playing it at Best Buy, but there's just too many games in October and November. I'll wait until those games hit $30 before picking them up ($60-$80 for DJ Hero).

99.999% of the time UPS/Fedex will leave it on the doorstep. If for some reason they leave the "note of death" you can pick it up same day as long as they're still open when you want to retrieve the game.

I wouldn't say 99.9999% of the time. It really depends on your area and the driver. If the area seems like a safe place to leave it then they will leave it and vice versa. At my old apartment they never left anything because it would be wide open on a busy street but my new apartment that is on the same street they will leave it because there is a spot to leave stuff and it can't be seen from the road.
Lately the guy has been ringing the door bell and just leaving the package there before I even get a chance to get up. I'm not happy with that.

That totally depends on where you live, it's not 99%. UPS has never left a package on my doorstep. I assume most people that live in a major city are the same way. My neighbors houses, and the street, are 2 steps away.

Dang amazon is so random sometimes. I did the release date delivery with amazon prime and have to wait for tomorrow to get mine while my cousin opted for super saver shipping and got his today. Lol. Seriously wtf amazon.

I used Free Super Saving shipping for the Prestige version and it's "out for delivery" right now, it'll be here when I get home from work. (shipped from PA to NJ).
I also ordered the Modern Warfare 2 bundle, and that shipped on the 10th from Kentucky and will arrive tomorrow (also used free shipping).
Side note- is anyone else always getting screwed with the pre-order credit from Amazon? I've had to email for each of the last 4-5 qualifying purchases to get my credit, it used to be emailed automatically.
Uncharted 2 never got the credit, emailed and they just refunded $5.00 off the order
GTA Liberty City Stories never got the credit, it's been over 10 days, time to email about that one
Modern Warfare 2 just shipped yesterday, so I'll wait a week or so but I know I'll have to email about the credit for that, too.

In my experience, UPS leaves small items like games at the door. My UPS guy has even left a huge HTIB box at my door when I wasn't home. The only thing I've have to get a rescheduled delivery for was my 360 coming back from repair. You should be good.
Yeah you have to be careful with UPS guys. It's definitely YMMV. At one of my residences they always left the sticky note, at another I had a UPS guy leave my $2000 home theater speakers on the doorstep and walk away(3 huge boxes)

amazon customer service reps are idiots. I call and ask them what the deal is and at first she gives me some bs saying there was an error charging my card. Well no wonder since it was all paid for with gift card balance. Then she says that there was an error whenever they tried to process the gift card. They are full of shit and dont know what the fuck they are talking about.

Anyone else who ordered multiple copies of COD:MW2 get an email about your game credit that suddenly contains the "Offer valid for one Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox 360 purchase per customer" caveat.
I never saw this restriction when the promotion was first announced or when they sent out notices for the bump to a $15 and then $20 credit. It was because of this deal, in large part, that I opted to purchase this game from Amazon rather than, say, Wal-Mart or Gamestop as gifts for my father and brother.
Anyone else having this problem?

Since I used the $40 credit from the Medieval Games flip (cost me 57 cents) and ECA stack on this, it will be the best deal of the year for me on a game: I'm paying $2.56 and getting $20 in credit back.
how long is the $20 games credit good for?? i dont want to realize that its expiring real soon so we gotta spend $40 (60-20) for another game. in the end giving amazon, $100 (60+40).
The one I got last week for Dragon Age was good until 1/31/10 so this will probably be the same.
Just got an email that my promotional credit has been applied.
Also saw this:
The promotion code must be used by February 28, 2010.

Most likely, yes, you could buy from GS and return your amazon copy to GS since the items are identical.
However, this is a touchy subject since it's not entirely honest.

I ordered both the hardened and prestige editions of Call of Duty. Both are being delivered today and I just got an e-mail from Amazon giving me a $10 code for the Prestige.
WTF?! Of course I want the $20 credit for the hardened instead so now I gotta shoot off an e-mail and play that whole song and dance with them.
And to the other poster who complained about Amazon not extending this offer to multiple purchases, I feel your pain. I distinctly remember ordering so many cuz I thought they would extend it. So not only do I get screwed out of multiple credits, they try to give me $10 instead of $20! Ahhhhhh! :bomb:

That's crazy; I just checked my e-mail, and have two promo credits, a $10 from the 360 Prestige I ordered a few months ago, and a $20 for the PS3 Hardened I decided to order 2 days ago.
So I guess YMMV on getting multiple coupons per account. Then again I've been having some batty things happen with Amazon recently. On the Xbox deal this weekend, my price had the Lightning Deal -.01 discount applied twice...now I'm getting two MW2 promo codes when others are only getting one.

Thanks guys still waiting on my hardened... suppose to be on the FEDEX truck!

If you guys are Prime members you'll probably get $6-$10 credit in your account or a refund for that amount. Personally I wouldn't mind waiting an extra day to save a little more cash.

Why hasn't Amazon dropped the price for MW2 yet? I thought they'd shave at least a few dollars off to intice customers, which would've been nice considering the pre-order price guarantee is good through release day. If they drop the price on MW2 tomorrow, I'm shooting them a nasty e-mail.

I wouldn't count on it unless you complain. They screwed up two of my recent orders, both arriving a day late with RDD and I never heard anything from them. Another order was free 2-day shipping and when I complained about them missing that date, they upgraded me to free 1-day. Kind of worthless gesture since all my 2-day shipments have been overnight anyways. Pisses me off that so many people can get really fast FSSS and they always made me wait almost two weeks to get mine. Then I buy prime and they've yet to hit the estimated delivery date.

You're right it depends on what the CS rep feels like giving you. I remember one of my friends got a RDD order a day late, emailed them, and got a $10 refund. You definitely have to email them though; they won't do any of this automatically.

You can't use it on the code itself, but you're able to use the credit towards an actual point card. As long as it isn't a digital download / instant code, you're able to use your credit on it.

My guess is that different SKUs will work. So in your case, you got the PS3 and 360 versions. Or if someone got the normal and the Prestige version, that would probably work. It's just when you buy two of the same version (i.e. two normal versions) that I'm thinking you only get one discount.

To be honest, I'm not even sure it's left Tennessee yet ... regardless, after calling Fed Ex, it won't be arriving until tomorrow at the earliest. You can call Amazon and get the shipping cost refunded, I actually just had them upgrade shipping on my Arcade I ordered through the lightening deal from FSSS to Standard.

They will send you an email telling you that they put the $20 into your account.
However, it still shows $0.00 balance when I go check my gift card balance, but if I try to buy a game, the $20 shows up.
I'm guessing it's b/c this $20 is only good for video games and is not really a gift card either.

Is it weird that my estimated delivery date is 11/10 (today), but the last status update on my ups tracking # shows "departure scan" from a facility in my city and hasn't changed since Nov 9?
If it was being delivered, it would show "Out for Delivery".
I have a feeling it's either lost or delayed. I could also be jumping to conclusions, but the damn status on the tracking # has me worried.

I pre-ordered it on Amazon..then I found out the street date was broken and I could get it 3-4 days earlier. I still thought that I'd rather give my money to Amazon than Gamestop, so I waited. I chose the Release-Date-Shipping, which means the game was supposed to come today. Well, it didn't, it says "estimated arrival" is November 11. I was REALLY, really looking forward to playing it all night long after a terrible 2 exam day at college, but came home to realize I wouldn't get the chance to.
Thank you, Amazon, for ruining my Modern Warfare 2 experience.

Mine came at three like I said it would. I got the hardened edition.
Did anyone else get one with the 24 system link misprint? It also had two COD classic codes??? Anyone? Not bragging, just curious?how much would you want for that extra code via paypal?

Last week my copy had an estimated ship date of the 16th. It ended up shipping on the 8th and I received it today. Its cool in one way since I just used FSSS, but sucks in another since I was going to cancel my pre-order. Oh well.

Mine too! I just saw that it's still showing that it's being delivered today by 3:00 (10 minutes ago) but it left Tennessee for California less than 2 hours ago after spending all day in their sorting facility.
I'm in the same boat. :cry:

Interesting, I got mine today, but did FSSS. Awesome luck.
Sigh, I didn't get the PS3 copy I bought for my bf's cousin on release day (we have Amazon Prime and our copy is stuck in Tennessee--we are in California). I also ordered another copy for my bf (Xbox 360) on my own Amazon account (not Prime) and it got here yesterday despite saying it would be here 2 days after release day.
If I had known this would happen I would've ordered the two games on opposite accounts. :lol:

The problem is that Amazon shipped the FSSS packages a few days ago, while the Prime and other Release Date Delivery packages weren't sent out until yesterday to avoid people getting it prior to release date. Mine was sent from Delaware to California for RDD and wasn't picked up by FedEx until 6:33 PM yesterday. Got into Sac tonight at 5:45, but no delivery until tomorrow. Knowing when it shipped, I don't know why I'm surprised that I'm missing out on all the fun my friends are having on Live tonight...frustrating, but this is really the only problem I've ever had with Amazon. I sent an email and we'll see what they say.

Ups won't leave packages unless you give them permission to do so. Which means you have to be there one time when they deliver something and then tell them that future packages can be left. Downside is that if your neighbor steals your package, you're screwed as you assume reliablilty for said packages.

Downside is that if your neighbor steals your package, you're screwed as you assume reliablilty for said packages.Actually, I have the opposite problem. Where I live, the UPS just leaves any and all packages by the door. I actually went outside after seeing the truck go leave to find my package opened. Even after calling them, they still don't deliver in person. I suppose they only do when a signature is necessary. But I live in a house so maybe they think no ones going to go up your driveway and look around your door in the middle of the day.
Oh yeah, my MW2 status just changed to "Shipping Soon"!

Indeed. My order says it's not going to ship until Nov. 16th. I don't get HOW some people got their FSSS so early when my copy is shipping so late. I guess I wouldn't be nearly as annoyed if it wasn't for all the release day people having issues; then it would at least make sense because they are fulfilling their orders. I would almost be curious as to when people placed their orders. I pulled the trigger on Oct. 20th, so maybe it is because I pre-ordered so late I am so far down on the list.

Mine said the same, but then the rep on the phone actually said they were
on the truck already, dont know how accurate that statement is but
hopefully it shouldnt be much longer.
On another note does anyone know if this offer scales with the amount
of copies you got?
2 Copies = $40 off on future purchases?

i got a 360 version and a ps3 version, and got 2 $20 promo codes. I checked my account and they take off $40 off any video game purchases in my cart. I don't know if they will give you 2 $20 promo codes if you were to buy two 360 versions or two ps3 versions though.

Flyersfan
11-11-2009, 07:45 AM
I doubt if I write Amazon anything will happen, I signed up for the free month of prime so I didn't really pay for RDD, still sucks though.
I live in Philly, mine shipped from Delaware (like 30 miles away) Monday night. Got to Philly at 3:40 AM, out for delivery (on the truck) at 5:57 AM in Philly! Did the guy just fuckin forget me? It still says its out, when do they update there systems?
I wasted a whole day sitting here because I have to be here when they come, they won't leave it on my door and I really don't want them too either because someone will 100% take it, I live in a pretty big tourist area and theres a lot to do here so people are always walking by.

Weird, from experience it's the complete opposite for me, in which FedEx refuses to leave packages at my door unless I post a note verifying they can do so, whereas UPS will ALWAYS leave them, no matter whether a signature is required or not.

I agree as I remember UPS even left my 80gb MGS4 PS3($500) outside the door without requiring an signature and I live in an Condo Complex. UPS always leaves the games outside my door and doesn't even knock as my g/f is there during the day.

Definitely write to them. Play up the "this isn't going to make me want to pay for Prime once this trial ends" angle. Whether you're paying for Prime or not, you're a Prime member right now.

Yeah, I was planning on writing to them just for the hell of it to see if anything happened. Just got a response for them saying I get a $5 promotion. It's not $10, but I'll take it on top of the $20 I got for the game :).
So anyone out there reading this, def. take kevlars advice and write them if you had RDD and didn't get it then. Even with a free prime trial I got $5.
