Right. But again, prime is for preorders only. BB GCU is for any new game at any time. It also only costs $15 a year.never even thought of that. well if you've got Prime it'll be delivered on release day at least.

Because if I want a game now I can just go pick it up instead of waiting for it to ship.Amazon is only for preorders. On Amazon if you want a game on day one you would have to preorders and pay for expedited shipping. BB I just go pick it up. Also if I want a game that's been out for a few months Amazon would still have to ship it, I can still grab one off the shelf at BB.
The other thing is Best Buy Rewards. GCU doubles your points on all game purchases and recently they had the "preorder a game and get a 10 dollar gift certificate" deal for a bunch of games. So for that run by coupling my discount with the 10 dollar certificate, I was paying 38 dollars to preorder new games and stacking my reward points to get even more certificates. Between the reward points, gift certificates and GCU discount I've saved a ton.
Yeah, I've been a broken record going over the details of GCU on here. Some people don't understand the math. Its hands down the best deal at the moment.
Im rolling with amazon on guaranteed, day one purchases. 
GCU is cool for stuff I might find out that I want later on.
I buy more stuff on amazon as well so the definite 23% I save there, might be technically less than what I MIGHT get at best buy, but the amazon points are more useful to me.
All in all, im glad I have both options

Yeah those games you skip out on release that go on sale a few months later still get that 20% off at BB while they don't with Amazon. I have both Amazon Prime and GCU for different reasons. I don't even really use Amazon Prime for games.
Now that I think about it, I might do GCU with Uncharted. My best buy is usually inept and lets me get the game a day early

For UFC2 I preordered and had it shipped and it arrived around 2 or 3 on release date. Around the time I would've went to pick it up anyway. That's through GCU.Because if I want a game now I can just go pick it up instead of waiting for it to ship.
Picking up a game 3 days after release defeats the purpose of preordering.
If you are using Amazon Prime over BB GCU strictly for the gaming discounts you lost.
My only issue with GCU is that my location has pretty shytty UPS services so I use an access point, and I can't change the settings to ship to the access point beforehand so I have to wait a day to get my pre-order.
I know I can arrange store pick up but the two nearest best buys aren't that close and their customer service sucks.

By 2 or 3 I meant 2 or 3 PM on release date it arrived at my place.

Facts
Played this last night. I'm gonna try that download demo, then download the full game trick more often. I'm glad I didn't pay for this though, its not a terrible game, it just feels dated. Its pretty much guitar hero with a regular controller.
Star Wars Battlefront is $20 via gamefly.
I went ahead and ordered a copy at that price.
Apparently gamefly games come with the original case and manual.
