Something I noticed about the $10 promo credit for Mass Effect 3 is that it is a general use credit. I wonder if they change it from a $10 general use credit to a $20 video game credit closer to time if you would get both credits or only the greater of the two.

bulletstorm or killzone 3?

price just went up $2 on killzone 3 while i was preordering, doh! lol

oh yeah and demos of both, so i will check them out

so if i was to say pre order bullet storm and get 20$ credit, then the next day want to buy a game i can use the credit on ANY game and any condition?

Has to be shipped and sold by Amazon.com

Thanks for posting this. Once I get my $10 promo for pre-ordering LEGO Star Wars III, I'll be picking up LEGO Pirates without worry that a promotional credit deal will be applied after I pre-order.

Looks like Amazon posted $5 credit for Pokemon White/Black.

Walmart.com added $10 egift cards for Mortal Kombat and Lego Pirates. Hoping for a $20 deal though from somewhere for Mortal Kombat. Hopefully Kmart comes through if Amazon doesn't.

I had pre-ordered Pokemon White awhile ago, but it showed up in my Goldbox today for some reason. So I canceled and reordered at the discounted price. Saved a little bit of cash and guaranteed my 5 dollar credit. Nice.

How early do you have to pre-order a game to be able to get release date shipping? I have a trade-in scheduled to arrive at noram monday, would I be able to pre-order Killzone 3 and get release date shipping then?

In my case (shipping to CA), Amazon usually charges GC/CC on or around 12:00 AM Monday and prepares the shipment for Tuesday release-date delivery. But for you trade-in, you will probably have to give another 3 - 4 days for GC balance even if it is delivered on Monday. It seems that it is taking a bit longer for Noram to process trade-ins these days.

When I talked to a CS rep one time they said that a order needs to be placed 5 days before release date to get the release day shipping.

Edit: Just went to pre-order Bulletstorm to make sure and it still gave it to me so 3 days before still works. CS guy mustn't have known what he was talking about.
I'd say you'd have to order it by tomorrow to get Release Day because that gives them a day to process and a day to ship it

I have preordered on a Monday morning, the day the game got shipped out, and was able to get release day delivery and have the game in my hands on Tuesday. I can't say for sure when the cutoff is, though, or whether or not it varies from game to game.

just tried the demo for killzone3, must say it's awesome
and omg co-op!
gosh i'm slow..
now to get two sets of those move bundles...

Isn't the split screen co-op only with dualshocks? Not move?

Did this with Test Drive Unlimited 2; ordered Monday, got it Tuesday.

But I agree with the comments about the trade-in credit. Even if Noram gets it Monday, you are very unlikely to get the Amazon credit the same day.

BULLETSTORM!!!!!! in for 40 yesss

Good to know on the release day thing

And yeah I highly doubt you'll get it by then. My Vanquish has been there for 3 days so far and nothing

What is the charge for release day shipping if you don't have Prime?

I thought it was $0.99 these days.
