Okay... I think I'm going crazy. There seems to be one glaring problem that I can't overcome: I don't see "Quick Picks" anywhere! I go to the Gold Box page, the page linked in the very first part of the FAQ, this one
http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/
I see "Deal of the Day", then "Lightning Deals" to the right, featuring all the timed deals coming up today, then below that there's a horizontal scroll bar labled "Best Deals", and I can limit it to just video games, but that just gives me 4 crappy video game deals on a singstar mic and Spongebob. Then below that it just list a bunch of recent forum threads.
As it says in the FAQ -
I keep hearing about 'gold/quick picks'; what are people talking about?
This is refering to the
Amazon Gold Box page which lists personal quick picks just below the gold box deals.
Looking just below the gold box deals and not seeing any "Quick Picks". Wtf.
Ok, so maybe I'm lloking at the wrong thing; so I go to the top of the page and choose "recommendations". In the loaded window I choose "See all recommendation", which gives me this page
http://www.amazon.com/gp/yourstore/recs/ref=pd_ys_tdy_recs
Then over on the left I limit the view to video games. Here I do see a bunch of games for pre-order, but there's no discount, they're all full price.
Good lord, it's been a long day. I know I'm doing something wrong, but I just followed the links and am just not seeing what I'm looking for. And I read the FAQ 3 times. Again, I think I'm going mad. Thanks in advance for any help.
