on Prime shipping, which cost like $59

Anyone have any experiencing with buying new games online?
How fast do they usually ship or get to you?
Have they ever come in early even by a few days?
Thanks for any help

Aww, I was just wondering because estimated delivery date states 4 days after release at the earliest...which if it happens, is going to suck. Just bought this because my local gamestop doesn't have the steel case set

>>28374533
What's wrong with buying the strategy guide?
And I'm pre-ordering this much in advance because I got fucked with the FE:fates bundle

Why the fuck wouldn't you then? Especially for the 20% discount. Do you purposely want to wait until after launch day to play or something?

Amazon always does this, no worries friend. You'll get it release day.

Amazon is pretty reliable for release day deliveries, on some cases, they arrive ahead of schedule and you get it a day or two before release day

>my local gamestop doesn't have the steelbook
and none will, the steelbook double pack is an Amazon exclusive

Hey anon, I've preordered stuff from amazon many times. Expect the shipping time quoted to you, they make no promises for your items to arrive on release day so it will likely arrive after. You should be able to choose expedited shipping for release day delivery, was there an option?

Wait, so if you have Prime you get both games cheaper? Like, $59 for both? Or am I a retard and reading it wrong?

I get things I preorder on the same day it releases. I've always went with the default free 2-day shipping. They ship the items out a few days before it officially releases so it gets to you on time.

>>28374778
In the NA, Prime members get 20% off new and preordered games plus free shipping and release day delivery. I don't know if it's the same for other countries.

That's still fucking stupid, a steel case is not worth $10

Usually when things are sold together you're getting some kind of discounted price

If you got at least 2 day shipping, they will arrive on release day. If you got standard shipping, they'll begin shipping on release day and arrive the given days after that.

Not preordering because I don't want to wait for Amazon, nor do I want to give Gamestop any money.

I'll just go the morning of to a local chain that carries games.

you are getting a discounted price if you're a prime member; it'd be a free steelbook and $4 off the price of each game

this isn't wholesale, you pay extra for limited editions and extras, regardless of platform or company. Consider it lucky it's only $10, look at all other companies marking up their prices by $20-100 for some DLC, an extra booklet and some unnecessary item

Yeah, obviously, but that doesn't excuse those nip jews who are selling it at that price

Jesus you sound like such a cocksucker, every other fucking bundle game gets you the game + the season pass or whatever and the steelbook is a bonus

t. just finished economics in high school and thinks this makes sense

Listen to me for a fucking second you mouthbreather
Every other company includes the steelbook for free when you purchase a bundle with a game + season pass or in this case a game + a game

This is not defendable and you should feel bad

Why buy the SteelBook for $90 when you can buy Sun and Moon individually for $80? Is it just for the SteelBook case?

they leave out event exclusives. and they leave out some 'super secret' stuff, the ruby/sapphire one points you to the start of the regi chain and gives you a visual braille translator but doesnt tell you exactly what to do.

I can't believe people are complaining about $10 for steelbooks. If you don't like it, don't buy it?

It's just $10 anyways, a bottle of juice is $11 where I am and no amount of complaining will fix that ridiculousness.

hmm my steel case says it will arrive the day of release and always has. Only times I've seen amazon dates be wrong is if the item gets delayed too. If you just ordered it today they may have already sold out on the first shipment and yours is from the second.
