Amazon has matched kmart but I still might swing by kmart sunday morning because I have to pay tax either way. Just such a hassle trying to get anything at my local kmart so I may go amazon route.

Is Amazon finally matching Kmart deals? That would be nice

What state do you live in? I know most states don't actually pay sales tax on Amazon.

Kentucky which sucks because I would jump on this if it was no tax because tax means extra $15 for me on the system and extra $2.40 on game. Just debating if kmart will have any out sunday morning because I would have to stop on the way to work and then be held up trying to get one. I'm sure kmart won't have them out that morning anyway and by 6 that evening probably be sold out. Really only launch game I would use the money on is pilotwings, just mostly be buying the system now because the games I want (along with everyone else) comes out later so be nice having a 3ds now and not worry about shortages (wii) come 3 or 4 months from now.

Amazon just put this up as well:

Buy a 3DS Game, Get a $10 Credit for a 2nd Game Order a qualifying 3DS game and receive a $10 promotional credit toward the purchase of a second game from the list. The promotional credit will be applied to your Amazon.com account within 2 days after your order ships, and you will receive redemption instructions via email. Offer valid when shipped and sold by Amazon.com. This offer will be extended to all existing pre-orders. Limit one promotional credit per game, per customer.

I wonder if this will stack with the $10 general store credit that SSFIV3D had a few days ago. Either way, Amazon is the best

If it stacks with SF4 I'll order that thing right now

yah but seems that the credits take a bit of time....credit from 3ds system takes 2 days after it ships to add....then order your game...wait another couple days after that for another credit...so might have to wait a week or so to get the full package

Awesome! Free $25 toward Pilotwings; just have to wait a couple of days after my 3DS ships for the credit to appear. <3 <3 Amazon.

It looks like Amazon replaced the general store credit with the 3DS-specific one.

OK this is kind of crap, is Amazon had shown this deal (or ANY other) earlier i would have gone with them instead of Gamestop. Oh well, i'm going to cancel my preorder of Pilot Wings at Gamestop and order it online with Ridge Racer. Hopefully Ridge Racer will show Saturday with Prime or I'll have no games to play launch day...

Amazon does this often I've noticed. They'll just PM the best deal out there. They may not always be proactive giving the best deals out the gate but they'll just match whatever anybody else has. The tax thing is a big advantage for them. Amazon rules once again.

I hope it gets added to my pre-order from January. I contacted a CS rep through the chat and he said that it will apply to all pre-orders that are existing, however, I always feel uneasy when I have no proof either through e-mail or on the order status.

Don't worry about it. It will apply

Hmm, couldn't one person preorder a 3DS and a 3DS game at the same time, and get both $25 and $10 credits to use on another 3DS game "after 2 days"? Or it wouldn't work?

It doesn't say they can't be used with other offers, but I don't know how the promotional credit restrictions have come up in the past. I'm counting on them stacking.

Already had the black system ordered, so I just threw down an order for Ghost Recon which will probably sit on my shelf for a couple days, and then I'll have plenty of time to decide on Steel Diver/Pilotwings/SSFIV.

Also, hooray for the tag matching the image I had already used in my spending tab.

That is what I plan on doing and essentially getting a 3DS game for $5.00

So being that I pre-ordered the system and pre-ordered Super Street Fighter IV I'll get $35 towards my next game!? That's sweet!

Oh, God... I love Amazon!

Did anyone get any kind of confirmation on their order of this credit? I just pre-ordered a game off the list and nothing appeared anywhere on the invoice or where it normally would. I know Amazon is good for it, I just hate to contact customer service if I have zero evidence of this credit anywhere on my order.
