Amazon pre-order

[ChampIsHere42]

I'm trying to decide whether to pre-order Madden 13 on amazon with a "guaranteed" release day delivery or just drive 20 miles out of my way after work to go get it with a chance that they for some reason don't have anymore copies. Has anyone had any problems with doing something like this and not receiving it on release day like it says? I really don't want to pay an extra $10 for shipping and come home from work and not have it.

Also, I seen some people who received the game also received the qb wristband with the verbal commands for kinect on it. Does this come with all of the 360 games or was that just something special for them?

I've never had a pre-order from amazon with the release day guarantee ever be late.

Same here. Been doing release day shipping on my games for the last few years.

Do you have to sign for the package?

Re: Amazon pre-order

does Amazon ship it with USPS or UPS/FedEX?

Can't you put down a $5 dollar pre-order deposit at the actualt store to guarantee they hold it for you after work?

I have the same issue. Its either amazon, or count on the local base store to have it on time, they claim they will get it on release day, but I just dont trust that

of course, you then have to trust amazon will get you your game on tuesday. I can safely say when it comes to my experiences, Ive ordered at the least....12-15 items over the years with a release date delivery from amazon, and every single one has arrived on time. not a single mess up, not a single problem. on my doorstep, no issues. Amazon has always been GREAT to me*

Yep, pre ordered already from amazon. I get the luck MUT card, which I don't care about, and $15 off any amazon purchase, which I do care about. Gonna apply that credit to NHL maybe.

Glad to hear others haven't had any issues with amazon release day shipping. Beats going to GameStop that's for sure.

Toys R Us website has it for $44.99 with free shipping. I won't get it at launch but I will save almost $20.

sometime later that week or maybe next week amazon is best because you dont have to pay for taxes and shipping and get it on release day. Ive been doing amazon preorders for a year now my preorder usually come around 2:00-3:00 EST which would be there when i get back from my classes so usually do the homework i have to do then play the game

How do you figure that Amazon's release day shipping is free? It's an extra $10 for shipping if you want the game to be on your doorstep on release day.

Well they must not be accepting anymore release day preorders because I preorded a couple weeks ago & got free release day delivery.

not for me i get free 2 day shipping which is release day guarantee or 3.99 for 1 day shipping oppose to paying almost 20 bucks to get an release day from any other place
