A Good Reason to Go Prime - Amazon Offers 20% Off Preorders -
Amazon Prime members will receive yet another good reason to stay subscribed with the just-announced 20% off of all game preorders. Fans can also get 20% off of games within two weeks of release. Members can choose from multiple platforms including PlayStation 4, XBox One and PC.

I've been thinking about becoming an Amazon prime member, and they did need something to compete with game launches.
I stopped buying games off Amazon because I hate waiting around on launch days for games. I want the game ASAP lol. I'd rather buy it off PSN and get it the minute it's out. But idk.
I still don't use Amazon enough, or buy enough games physically to make the service worth it for me.
RIP Canada.
On a side note, USA gets all the good deals man. Dx
There, fixed it for you.

It used to be you would pre-order to make sure you could get the game before stocks ran out of release. That doesn't happen anymore.
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

You know, if I was receiving "kick backs" or being paid to put up certain things, I wouldn't have to play the Powerball tomorrow night.
It's legitimate news for people with Prime memberships at Amazon, nothing more or less. It was something I found while tooling around the 'Net today and figured some might be interested, not offended (again).
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
On a side note for some of you its 20% off new physical video games during pre-order through two weeks after release. So no downloads and after release for those who want to wait a smidge.
Take the freakin' kick backs!
'Sandbox MMO' is a PTSD trigger word for anyone who has the experience to know that anonymous players invariably use a 'sandbox' in the same manner a housecat does.
When your head is stuck in the sand, your ass becomes the only recognizable part of you.
No game is more fun than the one you can't play, and no game is more boring than one which you've become familiar.

Start with a billion dollars and make an MMO.
Do a quick edit and change it to "New Releases" and I'd bet that you'll see a much more positive reaction.

So much for marking paid articles masked as advertising, this one isn't even trying to hide it at all.
How can you possibly think this is a paid article? I mean there's definitely a referral link in there, which is fine, but it's not paid advertising lol.
And the referral link isn't from our site either. :D
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I like to know, when a games released theres a copy waiting for me. I was more then happy to pick up my copies of dark souls 2 and bloodbourne on release day
On a good note, our igloos are cozy and the poutines are hot!
Me and the wife use the prime video quite a bit. And the shipping costs,(USA) we save, since we use Amazon quite a bit, adds up as well.
Am happy with prime membership so far, and the more things they add that we actually use is nice.

Arguing "ads on an advertisement site", from the staff, is a bit moot. Mmorpg.com would have a real issue arguing 100% legitimacy as a "gaming journalism site", when you get a cut of most of the games you discuss if they're bought through your store. This, of course, is above and beyond the advertisement revenue on the borders of the main page and wherever else it fits. When I read most articles here, I must consider this first, that it is an ad site and "they" are trying to advertise to me. Sometimes I wish you hadn't added the store, but income is income and all.
So what's really odd to me is depictions of Amazon or Steam in a positive light. It's like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, at first. Then I start to consider you do benefit from a strong reference to digital download distributors. A "vote" in favor of Amazon or Steam is indeed a "vote" in favor of dlgamer. Then I'm not so confused, but more interested in the prospect that, apparently, you consider dlgamer a sort of subservient entity rather than a competitor.
You're all, without a doubt, "whale hunters scratching each others' backs". Fortunately for you, no matter how many times I say this, or how many times people look right at it and read and understand the words, people will pass right over it in their enchanted state, preferring to believe they're constructive contributors to some in-crowd of inspired or enlightened gaming pros.
So where do I take specific issue with advertisement in discussion forums? Believe me, I agree with MrSnuffles that it happens, but my complaint is the seamless integration of shills who do not identify specifically as being representative of the company promoted. Then, if I care to be informed, I have to go back and forth, comparing previous statements, to see if I'm being presented a genuine opinion or being fed a "hook line", and that gets really old.
So, long story short, I don't take issue particularly when Suzie Ford does advertise, because this person is transparently a part of an advertisement entity and I expect her to do this. I wonder, sometimes, if even the staff here realize all of it, forest for the trees thing.
I'll wait to the day's end when the moon is high
And then I'll rise with the tide with a lust for life, I'll
Amass an army, and we'll harness a horde
And then we'll limp across the land until we stand at the shore
