Offers 20% off new physical copies of video games for Prime members.

Sounds awesome until you realize Best Buy already does this for less money up front.

Plus...Steam...

Eh, I'm already sold on the $99/year for Prime, anything else is just gravy. Plus, not having to deal with Best Buy.

But, yeah, I would just Steam.

This isn't a 'Game' per se, but it's Amazon.

In the past 1 week, we've had 3 orders get delayed past their guaranteed delivery date. They are all Christmas presents, so it's irrelevant... but I complained any way. We got 3 months of Prime (1 for each order), since they offer that (up to 12 free months per year) for any late shipments.

I've noticed since we moved that the guaranteed delivery date seems to be a day long than it was in Memphis.

Also, I don't understand why they delay shipping something that's close to you because they don't want it arriving before their Prime date. Why not let it rip when you get the order and generate good will rather than annoyance with watching an order sit for a day unfulfilled?

We get a lot of items that have free same day or 1 day delivery now. It's almost annoying when things take a whole 2 days.
