I've got two day shipping through prime trial. It's shipping soon today. Think amazon is trying to get it people at the target release date. Possibly getting the game a day late is worth the $18 I saved.

I believe it takes another $5 off when you finish checking out. You won't be charged til the game is released, so cancel if you don't get $5 off. I personally had to switch out of super saver shipping to get an extra $5 off my pre-order.

Switching to amazon prime and 2-day shipping got my price down to $32.

Here's a story: I pre-ordered it in Sept. for $36.99 with super saver shipping ETA Dec 2! Then I heard that some people got another $5 off resulting in a total of $31.99. I didn't get anything good until I subscribed to free trial to Amazon Prime. Now the price is $31.99 with ETA of Nov 20.

Valve does hardware surveys via steam and try to accommodate the most common hardware specs while trying to add some new features to the source engine. So I was able to run all of the game on Orange Box with full settings (other than AA) on my single core CPU. In left 4 dead, there are also some...

I've always been able to cancel pre-orders a day before the actual release date (orange box) via amazon.com, but I've never tried ON the release date. Many offline personal horror stories about gamespot preorders make me stick with other retailers. Amazon.com's policy on pre-orders is that if...

Amazon has it for $36.99 with free super-saver shipping and pre-order price guarantee. Hopefully it means what I think it means, where the price after the moment of pre-order purchase never goes UP while any negative change in price is credited. I'm doing this: Pre-order it now and use amazon...

Threads usually die when I make a reply. So it's about time, as I am the angel of thread deaths. I have both systems. My personal conclusion: PSP - Great around the house for epic 3D games. DS - Portable fun that is actually portable in every necessary aspect.
