Thanks for the heads up.

yeah this thread really went downhill after last year's mega pre order bonuses.

Yup! They just added it recently! Freaking sweet! Wish I had pre-ordered before when it dropped to 50. :P

Plus the Ur-Dragon battle was just announced.

Was just coming to post that. Anyway, updated the OP for visibility. I think the $10 (plus super secret club discount ) will push me over for an early purchase.

Inversion has $10 credit.

UGH! I DID have it preordered when it was $49, but I cancelled it the day before they added the credit, lol. I didn't want to forget to cancel, because I figured it'd drop quick since Newegg had it for $47 preorder (and my Ur-backlog didn't help).

BTW, why don't you people ADD these games to the 1st post? Takes the same amount of time to post it here.

Yeah, I had that on there since December 22nd, but some guy keeps removing it & Spec Ops.

Same, I cancelled my original $55~ preorder from amazon back when newegg did the $48 preorder.

And now I just cancelled the newegg one and went back to amazon since it seems like a better deal with prime. Could've saved an extra $5 if I didn't hear about the newegg deal but oh well.

newegg - $48, free 3-day shipping
amazon - $50, free release date shipping + weapons pack

Just played Spec Ops: The Line demo, lots of fun. Doesn't hurt that it has Nathan Drake's voice as the main character but the gameplay is alot like Uncharted 3 with squad and military tactics. Looking forward to it.

Interesting addition to amazon's website I noticed when looking at Borderlands 2

Order in the next 2793 hours to get it by September 18, 2012.

Fry's has resistance burning skies for $34.96 for anybody that preordered thru amazon submit the lowered price so we can try to get it for that also here is the link heck even if you didnt preorder it submit the price and help your fellow CAG out

You know what I never understood? Why expensive ass collector's editions don't garner more credit? Why do I get the same $10 credit if I order the $60 regular version of a game or the $100 CE?

I'm a HUGE Borderlands fan. I put over four DAYS worth of time into the 360 version and so far have put about 15 hours into the PS3 GotY version. I would love to get the ultimate CE of Borderlands 2 but $150 is ing absurd. Now if there was a $40 credit or something I would be much more inclined to splurge. Just sayin'.

Ok, I have it pre-ordered as well and I'm trying to submit the lower price but I'm not seeing the link ANYWHERE on the product page.

Edit: Never mind, found it finally. Yeesh, they really try to hide that shit. You do know that Fry's is charging $2 for shipping? That might screw things up.

Because for the most part, collector's editions sell themselves which is why Amazon almost never gives credit on them. There is also a lot less competition among retailers on collector's editions because only a handful of stores carry most of them and the biggest like Gamestop never give credits at all.

So then why do I usually see piles of them in my local stores?

Even the ones that you're seeing piles of still sell tons to first day adopters and the margins can be very lucrative for retailers. Also, Amazon's business model is not the same as a brick and mortar retailer. Amazon is essentially in the warehouse business and while they would like to move things quickly, they don't have the same concerns about moving things immediately that a brick and mortar retailer does. Amazon can always just cut the price later if they have overstock or do a DOTD. There is literally no reason for Amazon to do a credit unless other retailers are doing so.

I haven't pre-ordered a game in awhile, but when did Amazon stop giving $20 credits?

Would like to know the last game that they offered that much too.
