[quote name='cRodz']it isnt.

I got into the Free Trial somewhere in December.
i then bought it for a year

if you are new, get the free trial for prime.[/QUOTE]

I want to buy it, just not for $80. Not sure if I buy enough to justify it. I'm on a free trial now and I'll absolutely miss it when it's gone but $80, I don't know...
 
[quote name='Xenphor']Okay WTF AMAZON. I added l4d2 to my cart for 35 bucks but when I went to checkout it was still at 40. Of course, I tried to delete it and then re-add it again but now it says they are all claimed. If I log out and look at the list I can see that the l4d2 deal is still going so apparently it's tied to my account. So now since it shows up as claimed already for my account I can no longer try to re-add the item for 35. I noticed the same thing happened with PS3 Dragon age since I had added that to my cart earlier but then removed it. It too says that it is claimed even though there are still some left. WTF I WANT MY FN l4D2[/QUOTE]
it means claimed by you. mine said the same thing but rang up for 35.
 
[quote name='cywulftl']Same thing happened to me, i starte a discussion there on Amazon see if i can get some answers. Hopefully it will get rectified.[/QUOTE]

Where are you doing this? Is there an online chat help or something? I don't really feel like calling anybody.

Did you igo all the way to the last 'place your order' screen? Because mine was showing up at the regular price too, until I got to that very last screen and then the discounts were applied.
 
[quote name='m3g4t0ky0']Uh, because of the weekend. It'll ship tomorrow and be at your house on Monday which is 2 business days.[/QUOTE]

actually the first is on a tuesday not a monday---n the reason im askin is cuz i got the prime trial thinki i would get my stuff sooner for blck friday deals.

so i order today n have to wait till tuesday wich is basically the waiting time for standard shipping.

ne way no big deal just thought it would be faster cuz of prime...
 
[quote name='mr_bungle']so should i just go ahead and bite on l4d2 for 35? or will it be 25 tomorrow[/QUOTE]

Yeah, if you hold out long enough it might even be free! :lol:

Seriously, this is as low as it's going to get on a 1 week-old game. Amazon is only matching Best Buy...if Best Buy didn't have it for $35, they'd sell it for $40/$44 because that's what Kmart and Target are selling it for.
 
It's not showing anywhere in your cart, right?

You could try clearing your browser's cookies/cache.

Or if you have multiple browsers, try another one to see if it's some kind of issue with a cookie.

If not, you probably still have time to call them and place order over the phone.

[quote name='fignutz32']it means claimed by you. mine said the same thing gut rang up for 35.[/QUOTE]

That's what I had thought but no matter what I do, the game still shows up as 39.99 in my cart at checkout.The first time I had clicked on the link, it showed up as 35 in my cart, but then, as soon as I went to checkout, it was back at 39.99. Now it never shows up as 35 in my cart and still at checkout is 39.99.
 
LAST year, Black Friday's list/price was released pretty early... like by TONIGHT sometime, I think we will know what Titles!
 
[quote name='youenvy']wich is basically the waiting time for standard shipping.[/QUOTE]

Yeah.... no. Just be patient and don't complain about a free Prime membership trial. Jeez.
 
[quote name='steelcurtain187']Did you igo all the way to the last 'place your order' screen? Because mine was showing up at the regular price too, until I got to that very last screen and then the discounts were applied.[/QUOTE]

Yes I was at the last Place Your Order screen and it was still 39.99.
 
[quote name='earvcunanan']Yeah.... no. Just be patient and don't complain about a free Prime membership trial. Jeez.[/QUOTE]


not complaining Jeez just wondering? seemed weird but i understand the whole holiday thing Jeez
 
Even after trying to clear my cache and use multiple browsers it still is the same problem. Everything seems to be tied to my account so it won't make a difference.
 
[quote name='SmileyMcSmiles']Before I go to bed...

PS3: Better overall graphics / textures. But with some slight frame rate drops.

360: Graphics not as good, but no where near horrible...perfectly fine. Has a more consistent frame rate.

Can't go wrong with either. Personally, I went with the PS3 version...but that's because I don't have a 360 myself. Hence that makes my opinion worthless. I'm tired now...bed time. ;)[/QUOTE]

Damnit. I'd prefer it if one version of Dragon Age just stood out. That way I could easily choose it and have no regrets either way....

I guess I have to choose between framerate and texture. What subtype of graphics whore am I?
 
[quote name='Xenphor']F8cking sh8t I'm just watching all these L4D2 go and I can't do anything about it. The game is still shown as claimed on my account even though I know there are some left. How can I reset this so I can add it to my cart again for 35????[/QUOTE]

do you have another account? you could open another one and order. i had this happen on a lightning deal earlier this week. i went ahead and bought it and then fired off an email to amazon. got the price adjusted within 20 min. i aslo took a screen cap showing i had claimed the lightning deal just in case.

Dude, with the volume they are doing today and tomorrow, the people on standard shipping are gonna have to wait well past next tuesday to get their stuff.
 
Xenphor,

Perhaps you could call them to order before the deal is gone? I called yesterday about an issue and didn't have to wait on hold. I think the number is 1-866-216-1072. (Just an option)

[quote name='Xenphor']Even after trying to clear my cache and use multiple browsers it still is the same problem. Everything seems to be tied to my account so it won't make a difference.[/QUOTE]
 
This is the busiest time of the year for retailers, and it seems weird to you that a shipment might go out a day or two later than usual? Jeez.

if u get to the checkout screen, u should see it taken off.

Nobody is shipping your game out on Thanksgiving. Nor are UPS/FedEx shipping the game out on Saturday. I did have Modern Warfare 2 ship on a Sunday night via US mail and in my mailbox on Monday though. The 2-day shipping is 2 "business days." If you're lucky, you'll get it one day early on Monday.

You don't just order a game on Thanksgiving and then expect it at your doorstep on Sunday. :lol:

Mine did the same but right before you finalize it, it should say the lower price. I know for mine when i ordered a movie yesterday and Dragon Age today i had to click to apply the promo, for the lighting deal. It was right under credit card when choosing your payment options. Oh and does anyone know why i got a promo code and what it might be? Got it after ordering Dragon Age.
 
I'm guessing you guys aren't married, cause
a) If you are brave enough to actually order (another) game and live thru it then
b) there's no way she's going to let you open it before Christmas anyway, so shipping times aren't a big deal.

;)

my order was a glitch. i went through with checkout and the final invoice still said regular price. this was for ufc: undisputed earlier this week. it happened with a few other people too.

I think it's the shipping charge, it negates the $4.99 discount they're offering. Maybe the people who are getting it cheaper have a special free shipping order.

I don't think so because I chose Free Super Saver shipping. Even if it did, wouldn't it still show up as 35 as a special offer as it did in my cart? It did show up correctly the first time I entered it in my cart, but after that, it only ever appeared as 39.99.

Well I sent them an e-mail about it so hopefully it'll get adjusted.
 
[quote name='earvcunanan']This is the busiest time of the year for retailers, and it seems weird to you that a shipment might go out a day or two later than usual? Jeez.

[/QUOTE]

Aye, people should be expecting the delay due to the number of steps your average order goes through before it ends up at your home. If you really want it now, go to retail.

Wouldn't the internet lessen the crowds at retail shops? Hasn't there been more mobbing events than years past even though many many people shop online now? I think I just found a subject to google up on.
 
Checked on DoA4 for the 360, and while it's no longer at the sale price (as I believe someone else already mentioned), it DOES show as in stock; last year it seems like I remember games staying at the sale price until out of stock then shooting back up, but if they replenished stock it went back to the sale price.

I guess this year they're not doing the same?

::edit::
Nevermind, answered my own question; it's currently selling at the higher price from Target, not from Amazon.

I'm married, have a huge backlog, and my wife has no control over the games I buy or play.

Sounds like "you" problem, not a "married guys" problem. :D

Thanks.

Seconded.
 
DA for 360 almost gone...93% claimed...I'm surprised it lasted this long, but I guess they either had a shitload of them in stock or people are waiting to see if it'll drop down later..
 
Just ordered Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World and Klonoa for myself for Christmas (from someone else) heh. I have wanted ToS for a while but never picked it up.. I knew once it hit $30 it'd drop at some point after that. Klonoa was an impulse buy... decided I've spent $10 to see shitty movies in the past, at least this will be fun for a few hours for the same price.

Thanks CheapyD/CAG!

I think it had to do with there already being a bunch of deals just as good for that game before today. If it had been $60 since day one and have been no good deals on it it would have sold out quick.
 
quick question here it might be a dumb one, but then again there are no stupid questions. I put l4d2 in my cart so if i dont buy it by the time the sale for it ends then will it stay at the sale price or what will happen exactly? im new to this by the way.
 
I've made two orders today and each applied some sort of discount in addition to the regular one with no explanation. It's almost too good to get additional money off these prices!
 
I'm SO GLAD I didn't open my Tales of Symphonia Wii from Best Buy yet. Returning that today and ordering from amazon with Uncharted 1 for free shipping :)
 
Sweet, got L4D2. Looks like if you add a Lightning Deal to your cart and then remove it, you can't add it again. FYI
