I know. That's why you almost never see any consoles sold for more than $20 off (sometimes at Target and Wal-Mart). Even when that rarely happens, it's usually to get people in the store to hopefully buy some software with it.

Ordered the F-Zero X manual and receive the manual + the operation card. ;D
Kind of made my day since I could not find the card at a decent price.

I pre-ordered a few games from Amazon with an "E3 20%" deal. Got notification and invoice for one game. The 20% wasn't calculated correctly. Got 11$ instead of 15$ ???. Emailed them and promptly received an extra 5$ discount.
For anybody with similar discount, I would suggest validating it in case this is a widespread issue.

As a Prime member you get 20% off any preorder and up to 2 weeks after release I believe.

I've been a prime member for a while, and never knew this. I just checked, and sure enough, I can get 20% off The Last Guardian if I decide to pre-order it. I might end up doing that. I've never pre-ordered a game before.

Too bad it doesn't work on systems (PS4 Pro) ;)

Yeah it is kinda new. They rolled it out about a year ago. Now it is the only place I pre order.

Like I said, I don't normally pre-order anything, but I might now simply for the discount.

I'll have to make a "Most Interesting Man" meme later. I don't always pre-order........

tiktektak:
I actually can't confirm the thing about systems getting no discounts.

Just two weeks ago we had a promotion here in austria in our biggest eletronics vendors (Saturn, Media Markt) where you got two PS4 bundled
with Uncharted 4 for the price of one. So two bundles for 399. That was a hell of a deal. ;D
