Good to hear, especially since I prefer buying from Amazon over Walmart.

You know they'll be announcing a special edition at E3. Bungie always produces the best 'making of' features too. IMO, it's worth losing a free $20 for to wait for that.

Agreed. Their "Making Of Halo 2" is my all time favorite. They had some great shots of pizza in there.

And the rest of it was pretty good too.

Bigstick has a point--you're NOT saving $20 off Halo Reach, it's $20 off a future purchase from Amazon.

However, we all know we're going to buy Halo Reach day one so why not get $20 off a future purchase?

Keep in mind that you're still paying $59 for the game. You don't actually get the credit until the game ships, and once you get the credit, you only have 1 month (yes, 1 month) to spend it - otherwise it's gone. Just make sure you're ready to spend on another game in that 1-month timeframe in September!

I know this because I did the $10 credit for GOW3 and the thing expires on 4/30/09.

Hey Joystiq, why don't you stick to reporting on video game news/stories instead of linking to the squabble amongst the big retailers to get the most preorders of blockbuster games? That's what Slickdeals is for...

Joystiq is a video game blog, not a news site. 1/3rd off a game sounds pretty post worthy to me.

it's actually a 1/3 off of a FUTURE game -- you'll still be paying $60 for this purchase. And as a video games blog, should Joystiq post every one of the deals Amazon does like this? As someone else mentions, Super Mario Galaxy 2 has the same deal, but for a $50 game... Whatever, I'll be over at Kotaku reading interesting stuff.

If you think you know better than someone what to post on their own site, maybe it's time you started your own blog. It's never been easier or cheaper, so put your money where your mouth is.

god don't ever mention Kotaku here anymore. I think it's universally accepted how much they suck and how their community is the biggest group of suck ups on the internet.

Bravo on resisting the urge to make the post headline:

"Reach around $20 off excites gamers"

I'm not sure if I should hop on this pre-order, or wait until they release a "legendary" edition with some garbage that I'll desperately want.

Amazon doesn't bill you until the game ships, so just preorder it not and if something comes up you can cancel that preorder with three clicks of your mouse.

thats what got me to buy BFBC2 from them....I suppose I will do the same with this, because most likely they will end up having it for like $51 at some point between now and release....or even cheaper....so I will just keep an eye out on the sales for it...

LOVE Amazon

Amazon is pretty awesome. I like their DRM-free MP3's as well.

$20 off a $60 game would actually be a savings of 33.33 (repeating, of course) percent.

The irony of course is that you would choose such an obvious insult to point out my lack of cleverness.

It was simply making a WoW reference that you apparently didn't appreciate.

Amazon seems to consitantly come across with good deals, be it on the pre-order or after the game has been out a while. Thanks for the heads up!

$20 is 47% of what Halo 3 ODST SHOULD have cost.

Zing!

Actually ODST my favorite.
