If your Prime account is shared across your family, you don't have to buy filler and get faster shipping,You guys are hardcore, according to my calculations, all of my fillers averages to only $40 a year. And these "fillers" are usually small cosmetics that my wife would buy from Sephora anyways.
Welcome to the Amazon tax club! We got cookies.Despite my massive backlog, I had to jump on this. $20 was my asking price; ended up getting it for $10 + tax (so lame NJ has Amazon tax now) after promo credit.
Yeah you don't save any money with prime if a membership is $80 a year. Amazon instant video means nothing to me as I have Netflix.If your Prime account is shared across your family, you don't have to buy filler and get faster shipping,
you can use Amazon Instant Video app on a roku box, PS3 or media pc, and you can use the Kindle Lending library, there's lots of value that make it a really good deal.
Now, I guess if you don't have a Kindle, already have netflix and don't have anyone to share the benefits with, the $80 is a lot pricer.
That's what backlogs are for.Deals officially dead. Amazon now has it listed as $29.98 and no its not a third party. Glad I got my order in last night, just sucks I have to wait 1-3 weeks. ;(
Why is the guide a must? I typically don't like to use guides, so I'm curious why you say that.$20 is a steal for this game. I got well over 100 hours of play out of my copy. It's not the greatest game ever but it's incredibly gorgeous and I felt compelled to get the platinum trophy.
The hardcover strategy guide is a must as well. If anybody wants mine, along with the maps and charts I created that to get the platinum, feel free to PM me.
How did you get free shipping without Prime?Thanks! I finally scored it for $22.95 after tax with free shipping and without Prime. It says it will ship 1-3 weeks. I don't mind I'll have some other game to keep me busy by then.
I wouldn't say the guide is a must. I bought the guide on release day and I don't think I ever really used it. I found it a lot more convenient to just look online for where a particular familiar or item was then flip through the guide. The gold Hurly you get with the guide is also pretty lackluster.Why is the guide a must? I typically don't like to use guides, so I'm curious why you say that.

I just tried this in my cart, you are right, standard shipping is free, it wasn't like this when it was $19.99.I dunno, it just deducted the shipping cost for me. I checked my account but I don't know if I might have had a
coupon or not? Odd.
Well, for one thing, it's really, really attractive. But also because of the maps - the game is terrible about location names and map locations, which can make it tough to get around. I used the guide for that more than anything else.Why is the guide a must? I typically don't like to use guides, so I'm curious why you say that.
highly unlikely, the game sold poorly.I wouldn't say the guide is a must. I bought the guide on release day and I don't think I ever really used it.

I bought the game at launch and I just now got around to finishing it. It was a pretty good game but it isn't without flaws. The game does feel a bit grindy at times when it comes to alchemy but you can easily avoid that and the AI is pretty lackluster. The familiars have a bit of a Pokemon effect where I wasn't really compelled to try out different familiars after I saw what would be an optimum familiar. I only changed out 2 of my familiars that I received in the opening areas towards the end of the game. There are some very good familiars you can get very early in the game.
I did like some of the post-game content though and that is well worth exploring some of it.

And just cancel the preorder afterwards? Now I feel stupid for not thinking of this before.I got mine shipped for $19.99 on it's own without prime.
That's because I added a pre-order and requested they ship them separately.
Had I not done the request my account looked like it wouldn't have shipped Ni no kuni until GTA V released.

But now you know and win in the future.And just cancel the preorder afterwards? Now I feel stupid for not thinking of this before.
No I didn't do that. That would be abuse of them. Probably wouldn't be able to keep on doing that before you'd get in trouble. That would work as like a one time thing.And just cancel the preorder afterwards? Now I feel stupid for not thinking of this before.
They ship seperately even if one is a future pre-order & seems to have same shipping date. I have done this several times.I got mine shipped for $19.99 on it's own without prime.

Since Amazon has updated the look, it calculates the difference in amount if you cancel a partial order, so I don't think this would have worked. In the past it would have, but their new system is stupid (smarter?)!And just cancel the preorder afterwards? Now I feel stupid for not thinking of this before.
It's $19.99 with free standard shipping now, and was the 1st day of this sale when I checked it out (for me at least, it showed up).I just tried this in my cart, you are right, standard shipping is free, it wasn't like this when it was $19.99.
