I've seen the wii wheel multiple times myself. I think some items are flagged to show up REALLY often, like uncharted 2 which I got even after marking not interested and someone else after already pre-ordering.

Finally had something useful show up in my Gold Box, Heavy Rain. Tossed it a PO with an ECA code.

I guess they must have seen me not bite on anything from it, though I pre-ordered Demon's Souls and GOW Collection recently, so they thought to toss something else PS3-related in there. We'll see if other things show up worthwhile.

So I was looking in my quick picks and received 9 games. While they're posted already I had a question. Ace Attorney Miles Edge Worth was 39.99 while at Gamestop its 29.99. Also GOlden sun is charged 39.99 while its really 34.99 at msrp. So for the gold box, if I pre-ordered it would the discount still take in effect? for example, I received 17% off Golden sun making it 33$ however if Amazon changed the price to 34.99 would they take off an additional 17% like before?

Per the FAQ: "With pre-orders this will only lock in the discount percentage, so a price drop will cause the actual amount to be recalculated."

hehe sorry about that -.- but thanks.

I have MAG in my quick picks, but its still $56.99. Where the 5% discount?

Did you order something else from your quick picks without saving the original page? That would negate the deal on everything else except the item(s) you already ordered. If that's not true, it's some kind of bug or glitch, is all I can think off.

Heh maybe I shouldn't have did that. I didn't get a single game in my gold box. So I took Halo 3 off, I couldn't find what halo 3 added in my recommendations so I thought I was good. The Halo 3 soundtrack showed up in my gold box with some dvds due to a few dvd purchases. I cleaned all of that up so hopefully I will get some games tomorrow.

Nope. I have never bought anything from the quick picks. :/

That happened to me on Monday when I pre ordered Halo reach. I clicked add to cart on my gold box page and it still was at 59.

Alright everyone, I've got a question. How do I keep from getting stuff I don't want in my Quick Picks? Specifically PS3, Wii, and Blu Ray stuff? I'm figuring the other stuff out, random pet stuff and music, but these still show up in my picks. I'm going to guess there isn't really anything I can do to avoid those, is there?

You will always get junk in your quick picks if you don't have enough in your recommendations to build off of. If you have like three pages of recommendations, chances are you will get an entire quick picks full of those options. If you only have 3-5 in there, then you will get a mixture of junk with those. Sometimes you will just get junk thanks to luck of the draw.

Nothing you can do about it.

Wow! Great post and thread. I just spent the past 4 days cleaning up and organizing my recommendations, kind of a pain but hopefully it will pay off soon. I have two things I wanted to share that happened to me in the process.

1) I've had Infamous in my Shopping Cart area for a few days now, specifically under Saved Items to Buy Later, in order to influence related games I want. Well today, I actually got Infamous in my quick picks. I wasn't expecting that.

2) I noticed sometimes you'll have to check Not Interested for some games multiple times... not exactly sure why. For example, I clicked I owned Legend of Zelda Minish Cap and it recommended Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past w/ Four Swords. I clicked Not Interested and moved on. The following day, I got to Legend of Zelda Four Swords Adventures, which I clicked I owned, and again it recommended the same Zelda Gameboy game. It happened for a couple of other things, though not frequently.

Now I've got a question I was hoping to get some wisdom on. I've preordered Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Uncharted 2, and God of War Collection. In the order I have a $10 gift code from Batman AA and 10% off from ECA. If I cancel this order, will my ECA discount and $10 GC go back in my cart for future use? I'm trying to figure out if I should work the quick picks harder on these specific games.

You can throw Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days onto the OP.

I didn't get it today. Should I go through my recommendations and click not interested on pretty much everything except odst?

Yes, any discounts or coupons from a canceled order will show up immediately for your next purchase.

Alright guys, I got bored and decided to cancel all my gold pick orders and see just how much damage I could do in one days worth of quick picks. Targets were Uncharted 2, God of War III, God of War: Collection, Heavy Rain, and The Last Guardian. In order to manipulate my picks, I used faux pre-orders for Assassin's Creed 2 (PS3), Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time, and Demon's Souls: Deluxe Edition. Let's see how I did this morning:



Not to rub it in but this was my first attempt at something ridiculous like this. Yes, I'm a braggart but the point is that it can be done, so don't get frustrated! Don't be afraid to ask for help either, as I'll do my best to help you guys get your picks.

NEW SUPER MARIO BROS WII! WOOHOOOOOO! I even had an ECA code ready for it! I am very happy :-)

I wish ECA didn't go down though. Mario & Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story wouldn't have went to waste yesterday. Ahh well :-X

Just got in my Gold Box (stuff not on the list):
Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love
Resident Evil Zero

I'm about down to stuff I know is ineligible in terms of upcoming games I want in my Gold Box. It saddens me, as this has become kind of an addiction, like playing the market Keep up the good work on maintaining this awesome thread sir. I had Red Steel 2 in there, but the bitter taste of the last one has me holding off to at least see if there are as many glaring issues as there were with the last.

My picks have been pretty lame the last few days... I did get Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 but I own the 360 version, and its untouched, so I passed.

Seems like I'm getting hit lots of strategy guides.


No luck with the 360 version of Alpha Protocol and/or Saboteur... Saboteur I haven't really tried to nail down yet but I have like 6 or so 5 star links to Alpha Protocol. Sort of depressing.


(Though I don't think I have any valid ECA codes right now so its probably mute.)
