I think £2 off £16.99 is the same as £2 off £39.99. Approximately.

£2 isn't much of a saving, use Flubit and save more.

From their t&cs:
"The offer does not apply to pre-orders or orders placed before 1 October 2016."
Sounds like a moan in live chat is required :wink:

You can't really compare the two markets are they aren't the same. We have much more consumer protection here than in the US for example.

Thanks OP just ordered Super Mario 3D World Wii u selects (launch date 30/09/2016 so not a pre order) for £14.99 instead of £16.99. Has to be the cheapest place to buy this game.

Those prices were a price match of Tesco promotion. Amazon have matched Tesco again and bumped the prices back up.

30 Sep 16 #19

If you get in touch, (phone might be best) you can tell them and every game preordered from September 16th-October 1st is eligible, so all my games are that were price matched with tesco last week :smiley:

Whether or not prices haven't gone up currently, I think it'd be a bit naive to think they won't increase them in time, whether the full £2 or not.

South Park The Fractured But Whole Steelbook is down to £45.99. Hopefully will fall a bit more before release date.

game promotions in US are far better than in UK, I was in US last year Nov time and most places were doing buy 2 get 3rd free on new releases and prices werent escalated to make the price even out either

Used the contact form, got them to call and the woman said I'm eligible and she's just seeing what can be done (since I already paid)

Spasho

Only £2 off. That's great for products that are like £16.99 but for something £39.99 it won't make much difference.

nathan3007 to Spasho

30 Sep 16 #21

Well take for example Rise of the Tomb Raider 20th Anniversary, the £2 makes it cheaper than about 3 other places

chris88 to Spasho

30 Sep 16 #22

If the price drops £5 then so does your pre-order. Good for games that aren't out soon. Gives more time for a possible price drop.

I managed to get two pounds off even though I don't have prime lol, I read the title wrong then realised halfway through the chat but still got it. That's battlefield 1 down to £30.00 with some free promo credit :smile:

Just make sure Flubit includes preorder bonus dlc. I got Forza from Flubit but not dlc.Mafia 3 will have dlc, I checked

If you want your order delivered a week after release, sure.

Heh, that worked. Guy said an extra £2 would be taken off on dispatch. Quids in, saves tenner.

30 Sep 16 #31

I pre ordered a lot of games last week with the £5 off deal so i guess this does not apply to me, even though i am a prime customer, prices are more expensive , i do not think they will let me chance another £2 off every game preorder.

lynothehammer

30 Sep 16 #32

Sod it, i missed out on Gears 4 when it was £35. Gone back up to £40 now so i suppose £2 is better than nowt...

Spasho

30 Sep 16 #33

£14.99 feels like a better price and discounted than, say, £36. It's a £2 difference but at such a high price it really doesn't make a damn difference.

I wouldn't pre-order a game I want of £39.99 from Amazon for the sake of saving £2 with them. I'll just buy what I want elsewhere.

davidian84

30 Sep 16 #34

Suprised this isnt hotter, amazon price match most retailers, now you get £2 off extra. Plus next day delivery and any bonuses amazon have for the game.

I know US is 20% but they also charge $60 for mafia 3, in uk its £40 before discounts, US also add tax on to the price depending on the state.

sebianoti

I asked Amazon if they could add that to my Mafia 3 preorder which I ordered earlier this year for £28 and they said they'll add £2 credit to my Amazon account.

ajmurray94

Whilst it is better than nothing, can't be annoyed that US gets a 20% off deal, making their games significantly cheaper again. No idea why places like the UK get screwed over when it comes to new game release time and time again

May pre order Mafia off them, Unless theres a better deal going?

I just got an email from Amazon crediting my account with a gift card of £4, without asking I may add, for 2 games I preodered last week when they matched Tesco. Battlefield 1 and The Fractured but Whole for £35 each! That's why I love Amazon.

"There's a new Amazon Prime benefit that entitles Amazon Prime members to a £2 discount on eligible physical video game orders. As you're a video game customer and valued Prime member, who has ordered one or more physical video games which were released in the past two weeks or due to be released in the future, we’ve issued you an Amazon Gift Card for £4 as a thank you for your loyalty. This has been automatically applied to your account.

Future qualifying orders must be placed prior to release, or up to two weeks after release. Eligible physical video game titles will include a disc in box and be sold and Fulfilled by Amazon. For more information on this benefit, please visit https://www.amazon.co.uk/gamesave"

I wouldn't bother. I had it preordered with Amazon but 2K is refusing review copies until release. That to me sets alarm bells ringing that they've no confidence in the game. Best wating until a while after as you still get the discount.

Not just preorders I believe. Selected games though.

wakeywarrior

1 Oct 16 1 #43

This Mafia situation reminds me of the Watchdogs fiasco a few years back. Never buy a game now where they don't allow reviews. As I'd bought a Fifa PS4 deal the other day, I too got an email from Amazon saying £2 had been added to my account.

ST3123

1 Oct 16 #44

Bit of a meh deal IMHO as inevitably most new games will be up around the £40 mark so £2 off is a tiny discount ~5%. In most cases would be better with Flubit up to 15%....

Zatos

1 Oct 16 1 #45

Not if you think of percentage saved. The higher the initial cost the lower the saving. At £10 it's 20% off.

ventis86

1 Oct 16 #47

true but you think they could have made it 10% and got a lot more business. I'm sure they could have taken the hit and would have seen an increase in sales

Mr Ashcroft

1 Oct 16 1 #48

£2 is a joke considering you get 20% off in the US.

nathan3007 to Mr Ashcroft

ST3123

Really such a big deal? can just order again at the original retailer, they are going to have plenty in stock. Pre-ordering is increasingly becoming a mugs game anyway the poor state many games are released in. IMHO the optimal time to buy a 'new' game is about 3-6 months after release. All the bugs patched up but still new enough to be active online (not that I'm much of an online player) and loads cheaper to boot...

Teath123

1 Oct 16 #50

I was wondering when we'd get the video game preordering bonus thingy America has had for a while now, but £2 is a bit silly considering America gets a whopping 20% off all preorders. I won't complain I suppose, since £2 is £2.

nathan3007

1 Oct 16 #52

They put a £12 gift card on my account

penguinman93

1 Oct 16 1 #55

Got the £2 credited to my account for my Pokémon moon pre-order, I guess they're making their way through everyone that has a prime membership.

If you have any of the games pre-ordered and they are still at the same price you can apply the £2 credit plus the £2 you will now get off as an amazon prime member!

Just make sure to cancel the original pre-order, £28 for Pokémon you can't go wrong!

bobtheo

LOL got a £38 gift card as I have around 20 games preordered a lot of which were from that Tesco price match last week. Thanks Amazon. Just cancelled and reordered the ones which were still at the same price as well to save another £2 on each of them.

benjammin316 to bobtheo

1 Oct 16 #59

None of them are the same price now, got any examples?

dmbll

1 Oct 16 #58

bobtheo

1 Oct 16 1 #60

Sorry I meant other games which were not part of the Tesco price match I reordered so stuff like Skyrim, Pokemon, Dragon Quest Builders and Persona 5. I have still kept my original orders for the others.

Rossmor40

1 Oct 16 #61

Not bad, a pre-order £4 cheaper than I was going to pay for it. Still I would preferred 20% off.

1 Oct 16 #62

Unlucky you then, I've never had a late pre-order through Flubit :smiley:

Credited me with £2.00 for FIFA 17 on Xbox One which I pre ordered last week. So got it for £33.15 after discount so not bad at all
