Amazon is changing the video game pre-order perk for Prime members on August 28. The exact time of the change is unknown, so order today to be sure you get the 20% off discount.
Under the current system you can get 20% off most pre-orders. Under the new system Amazon will offer a $10 store credit on “select video games.” That credit becomes available 35 days after delivery and is good for 60 days.
See details on the new system here.
