[quote name='Tolyngee']If GG had just come out and offered "anyone may opt out of their pack order, cancel, and receive the 20% year discount instead", I probably would have gone for it...[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I think the value of the 20% discount over a year for an avid backlogger like me is higher than the 60 or so bucks saved on the Bethesda Pack (and who knows, come December 2013 we might see a new (non-glitched) Bethesda Pack and I'll be able to purchase it at 20% off!)
That said, you are in the right community because if you ever want anything from GG at 20% off I am sure you can find a helpful CAG to hook you up free of charge.
Edit:
And yeah, so far this year I have saved around $28 using the 20% discount (I've hosted a few group buys at discount). That's just in a few weeks of the discount. If it last the year, it will definitely be a great value for me.
