holy crap! i checked my recommendations rite now, and i went from about 45 which i want there, to over 300! clearing out all these garbage recs is gonna take a while

Huge ass ninja update; make sure you get those recs down or else you might miss out on some good picks tomorrow! I'm hoping for Medal of Honor myself.

So much crap to wade through in my recs...I did spot Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 in there though, so here's hoping. I've still got an open ECA order, so unfortunately Gold Box isn't crap compared to 20% off.

They also seem to have given a LOT of games release dates in Feb-March (so many will not make it) because I am oh so sure that The Last Guardian will be released Feb 18th and Heavy Rain on January 4th.

Got Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising today. Oddly enough, they list it as a 360 game even though the image is clearly PC lol. No Batman yet, sadly.

Sucks, I would love to see a port of it to the 360. My PC would hemorrhage and flat line if it ever saw the box, yet alone the actually disc, come close to it...

I saw the new Prince of Persia game, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, in my Quick Picks (is this a game based on a movie based on a game, or what's the deal with it?)

No Batman: AA 2 here either, though Amazon seems pretty persistent about making me want to purchase the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Collector's Guide and the God of War Collection.

Added. I had marked that one not interested hehe.

I've been tempted to put that in my Wish List so I can see when it hits $30-40. Hell, the one from Dec 2008 can be had for $20 brand new and has been that way for a few months. Good old predictable Ubisoft.

I just picked up CoD: MW2 for $40. It was listed on Christmas day; eligible for ps3,PC, or 360. haha luckily I jumped on that deal because it sold out half-an-hour later.

That was a DOTD, not a quick pick.

One more addition:

Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman 2

Still waiting for Batman: AA 2, and then hopefully in a few days people will start seeing Yakuza 3.

You have Shiren the Wanderer MIA and I got it today. Also got Dead Space 2 for both PS3 and 360. Guess they really want me to get that game.

Got Torchlight today. Seems the updates are more frequent than the usual weekly Sunday additions. Still no damn Castlevania or MGS: Rising on PS3. WTF Amazon?

Managed to get Yakuza 3 in my Quick Picks today. And yes Jodou, I'm wondering what's wrong with Amazon. It's coming up on 6 months since the 360 versions were put up on the site, and coming up on 6 months since the PS3 version was announced (PC as well for MGS).

Maybe they'll figure it out when it shows up at the warehouse. . .

I'm waiting for them to put up the Green Day Rock Band preorder, given that it's been announced, and they already have placeholders for the likes of Batman 2, Force Unleashed 2, and Dead Space 2.

They have some weird logic when it comes to what they put up for pre-order. For MONTHS they had White Knight Chronicles on the site, but you couldn't pre-order it. Then they go and let you pre-order games like Dead Space 2 or FF Versus XIII which have no set release date at all. Then of course there's the fun part of Castlevania and MGS, where the OFFICIAL Castlevania site shows it as being for PS3/360, and Kojima's own site lists PS3 and 360 for MGS Rising.

In trying to find rationale with Amazon's releases, one might go insane, as there seems to be no logical way they determine when to put up what games.

I seem to get a lot of MIA titles in my gold box.
Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love
FRAGILE DREAMS: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
Super Street Fighter IV

Preordered White Knight Chronicles and got Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey in my picks today.

Is anyone else ending up with completely unrelated garbage in their Gold Box? I've streamlined my recommendations meticulously and yet I've ended up with crap like tools and appliances in my Gold Box. Any suggestions out there or is that simply how it works for everyone?
