[quote name='Armor42']Even though I preordered skate 3 from EA for $39.99 with standard shipping and my prime trial ended, I just might do the preorder with release-date delivery. I'm too big of a skate fan to not want to obsessively play it the day it comes out.
I have $50 in amazon credit (thanks to trading in $10 worth of games from EA's store!), so with release-date delivery $13 ($63-$50 credit) for skate 3 and $10 amazon game credit seems better than $40 from EA with the game arriving who knows when.[/QUOTE]
I emailed EA about their shipping since my order email says it's scheduled to be delivered on the 30th of May. They said that I shouldn't go off that date, and that in most cases, if you have a game pre-ordered, they ship it a day or two prior to release to ensure you'll get it on release date or very close to it.
