When I contacted Amazon CS they told me that now the RDD $0.99 option was over for non-prime members. Now I do most of my pre-orders at Best Buy

I was browsing more and I found out the reason I may not have RDD. I clicked on shipping speed on my order page, and it said this.

"Note: We cannot ship Second Day or Next Day Air to P.O. boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or addresses served by the USPS as domestic destinations including Guam and the U.S. Virgtin Islands."



I guess no RDD since I have a PO box eh?

That sucks, it seems you are out of luck.

I ended up just shipping it to a friends address, now they gave me a 2 day shipping option. better then like 5 business days.

As others have reported, the $10 credit for Borderlands 2 seems that it's gone.

If you were to pre-order one of these, which would it be? The bonuses don't seem that good on any of them (?).

• Borderlands 2
• Darksiders II
• Sleeping Dogs

I'd pre-order Borderlands 2 from Gamestop if at all possible. They have the standard pre-order bonuses that Amazon and whoever else (Best Buy?) has and also an exclusive mode where you can fight waves of bosses and get loot.

Sleeping Dogs's pre-order bonuses are fairly equal sounding... BB gets George St. Pierre related DLC, GS gets Police-themed and Amazon gets Martial Arts.

Darksiders II, GS gets exclusive side-quests, BB gets armor and Amazon gets a speed upgrade to the horse to run faster. THQ also tends to offer their exclusive pre-order DLC for reasonable prices after its release.

So definitely either Sleeping Dogs or Darksiders II. Probably Sleeping Dogs.

Just a heads up for those still interested...

Borderlands 2 $10 credit has been re-instated, for now at least. It doesn't show up in the normal spot (under the platform selection box), but if you scroll down to the "Special Offers & Product Promotions" heading, the blurb about the $10 credit is there.

Hmm, I wonder if this will trigger the glitch where people who've had it preordered for a long time will get both certs. I remember a couple of times in the past where a $10 credit changed to a $20 credit later, and people whose preorder covered both periods got both.

Really? Huh. I'm just glad it's back, honestly. I panicked when it got removed because I had some recent trade-in credit I wanted to apply, but didn't want to cancel / re-order if it meant losing the $10 promo.

Now let's see if Amazon throws some promos on Halo or something (HA! Doubtful)

EDIT:
Ooh, Resident Evil 6 has $10 now, too!

Does GameStop accept international credit cards? And also, Creature Slaughter Dome vs. the $10 credit. Comments?

That or just waiting for the eventual $39.99 sale :o

That would be cool, but I won't hold my breath for it.

The Slaughter Dome just sounds like a new version of the really shitty Mad Moxxi DLC from Borderlands 1, except this time you can actually level up from it.

My guess is that the Slaughter Dome will be available to download later for $10 (but I wouldn't be surprised if they charged $15). So really it's up to you to figure out which is more valuable, DLC or credit.

Well, the addon of XP alone makes it better than Mad Moxxi. Plus, I imagine it will be better with weapon drops. Even with my Mordecai character with rare mods set up, it seemed like the weapon drops were seriously low compared to any other area of the main game or other DLC. All I can really recall finding where the occassional white handguns. Usually the cheapest and useless valued stuff around.

I pre-ordered after they first pulled the $10 promo (week ago), so will I be getting the $10 now?

Great I guess I will keep my Amazon order due to not having sales tax. If the Slaughter Dome DLC turns out to be good then I would just buy it when it goes on sale. (up tp $15)

Variablesunknown- yes you will get the credit now.

Pyoobez- I heard the "rare mods" err mods were glitched in Borderlands 1. Hackers would hack them to the max amount which should have made every item drop orange. It did nothing. Also the Dome in BL1 had really bad drops for me and I did it as a level 69.

Definitely in for Borderlands 2. Can't wait!

Question, I plan to get borderlands 2 and was wondering about the free super saver shipping on pre orders like this.

Does it usaully arrive on release day? I ask because i often buy my pre ordered games from newegg and i use there free shipping, even tho it states like 4 days i always recieve my pre orders from them on day 1. Does amazon free super saver shipping work like this where ill prob get it release day?

F1 2012 has a $10 credit for those that care

No. I can all but guarantee you will not get it on release day w FSSS.

I'm screen capping this right now in case it goes away again. I was just about to cancel my preorder and go with GS (to use credit there). This $10 is (barely) enough for me to keep it at Amazon.

As for getting two $10 credits (for having it preordered before) I'll just be happy if I can get one without having to contact them. More often than not it seems I have to contact Amazon to get these video game credits - they rarely come automatically. I think this happens more often with really really old preorders. I had some games preordered for 2+ years and those were always flaky. I've had this one now for several months, though, so we'll see...

Yeah. I've pre-ordered quite a few games with FSSS. I live in a city that's a postal hub and like 3-4 hours from Philly/Delaware where the games were being shipped from. I averaged Thursdays with rarer Fridays with FSSS. I believe that was Philly straight to my town although it may have went through another stop in Harrisburg.

I think I ordered 3 games with the 99 cent shipping and they arrived on Wednesday, with one being Thursday. (My mailman said they were swamped from the holidays on the one that was Thursday.)

Still, I can't imagine anyone getting release day unless you live in the same city. They'd likely let it sit for a day just because you didn't pay for the super expensive shipping.
