    Question is, does it come with release day shipping? While a 1600 point coupon is extremely tempting, considering Amazon isn't offering anything, I don't want to have to wait a week for the game to ship and arrive, whereas I'll have it the afternoon of release day with Amazon.

    I have no clue but for grins I put one in the old shopping cart and came across this.

    Shipping method:
    Free (I assume this is the 3 to 5 days shipping option)
    2nd Day - $9.99 (Order by 1 p.m. Eastern, excludes weekends & holidays)
    Next Day - $16.99 (Order by 1 p.m. Eastern, excludes weekends & holidays)

    So unless you are in no rush to play the game and have the patience to wait a week, you are not going to gain much thanks to MS kicking you in the nuts with shipping prices.

    Sticking with Amazon myself.

    Yeah, I saw that as well last night. I did the same thing, seeing what shipping options they had. I'm assuming the same thing for Free shipping (3-5 business days), so you wouldn't see it until probably Thursday or Friday at the earliest. And if it really is 3-5 business days, and you don't get it by Friday? Well, have fun waiting until the following Monday or Tuesday for it.

    I ultimately decided the same. I'm always game for free MS points, but I don't want to potentially wait a week to get it (I've been drooling over this game for months now, I'd sooner go out to the local Walmart or Gamestop to buy it than wait a week to get it from MS), and I'm not bending over for $10 or $17 shipping (talk about highway robbery). So yeah, screw it, I'm sticking with my pre-order I already have with Amazon.

    Not that uncommon with Newegg. You still gotta wait a week to get the game.

    Yeah, I went ahead and got it yesterday. I rented MLB 2K13 from Redbox back in August for a couple days, see if it was any decent since I had a baseball craving at the time. It's not bad. A couple issues here and there with it, but I was enjoying it. Just wasn't willing to pay $20-$40 to get it from Amazon, Gamestop or 360 Games On Demand.

    Ended up getting it for around $7 since I had $3 in MS Points credits on my account. That's good enough a price for me to get it. I'll be able to fire it up now and then and enjoy it. Was halfway through a season in My Player, playing as a first baseman in Double A when I returned it.

    Toys R Us: FRIENDS20 code at checkout online gets 20% off, includes pre-order PS4/XB1 games. Link contains coupon for in-store purchase. Includes free shipping on select games.

    FRIENDS25 will give you 25% off if you use a TRU branded credit card.

    Where did you get that?

    I did a 'test run' to see what it would bring GTV V to and it worked and GTA V is less than $79. That text is not on the coupon or on the first page of that CAG thread.

    Are you referring to the FRIENDS25 code?

    Never mind, that is to get free shipping. The reason why it didn't work is because it doesn't work on preorders:

    BioShock would be a nice deal for any FPS fan that hasn't played the game yet. No clue if Saint's Row IV is any good or not but it's the deal of the day as well for $37.49.
