Thanks to the amazing 12.5% cashback offer from CR and Shopback, this brings RDR2 to about $60.375 for a preorder. Amazing value and I reckon this would be the cheapest any brick and mortar store would offer. At least you get the convenience of shipping on release day to save petrol.

Update 11 Oct: Cashback offers have expired.
Update 20 Oct: Price now $62, from $69.

Edit 11-Oct-2018: I made a calculation mistake. I wasn't supposed to include GST. RDR2 would cost $62.73 after cashback.

      How much is COD cashback?

          It's a Catch marketplace item, not covered by club catch membership, so with the $6.95 shipping it is straight up $4.95 more expensive before any cashrewards benefit clever clogs.

      I ordered Hitman S2 through Amazon and it's supposed to come with a Sniper Assassin mode with pre-ordering but I haven't seen it yet and it's been a month since I placed my order. Is there anywhere we need to go for it?

      • RocketSwitch on 10/10/2018 - 15:46

        They usually send you an email with the code or the game comes with it.

        I would send them an email saying, "OI, where my code?"

        I've pre-ordered a few things from Amazon and never seen the bonuses come with it. I'm Tempted to cancel my Amazon pre-order as I don't trust them to provide the bonus codes. I pre ordered Spiderman and as far as I know the standard edition was meant to come with bonus suit and such. Noting in the case when it arrived and nothing in my email inbox. Did I miss something?

      • Agret on 20/10/2018 - 18:20

        I ordered Hitman S2 4 times from Amazon and cancelled the order just to get a couple copies of Sniper Assassin since it has co-op. You get the code emailed to you between 15-30min after placing your oder.

      Pretty sure Amazon, ship the day before with expedited delivery for pre-orders so you should actually receive it on the Friday. I mean there is a risk it could get delayed for whatever reason but a few friends of mine have done it and received it on the day of release.

            • smartazz104 on 10/10/2018 - 19:07

              @imurgod: And it's their fault that digital games are RRP.

              • imurgod on 10/10/2018 - 20:37

                @smartazz104: Firstly, what does digital games have to do with the way they treat their staff? Secondly, they've been overpriced for decades. Well before digital games and even so, they're the only ones who charge so much. Every other retailer charges far less. Despite what you may think, there's a huge profit margin in games. I can tell you that they buy ea console games for well under 30 bucks wholesale.

                • smartazz104 on 10/10/2018 - 21:43

                  @imurgod: What I meant was, the reason digitally buying console games costs so much is because MS and Sony have deals with the likes of EB to not undercut their prices, or else they won't carry their brands. So, I was just jumping on the "bash EB" bandwagon. Other retailers charge less because they can afford to make a loss; other departments cover the shortfall.

                  • imurgod on 11/10/2018 - 08:27

                    They're idiots really since Steam has it just about right.

                    Although trust me, nobody is making a loss. There is a huge margin on games. Not sure about consoles, but definitely games.

                    I'll never understand these weird, counter-productive deals they all make; timed exclusives, exclusives, etc.
                    Gamers have created this strange, toxic competition and the companies are promoting it.

                    Before this, games pretty much came out on every platform and gamers were just happy to play. I can't remember ever arguing that my C64 was better than someone's Atari ST or Amstrad.

                    Anyway, I've drifted off-topic. Apologies.

          • Aussie World Warrior on 10/10/2018 - 20:11

            @idonotknowwhy: That's not entirely true. They can refuse and from what I can tell it's 100% at manager's discretion if they will or not. There is no iron clad way of saying they will always accept a return from a customer. They can also ban you at any time from using the policy if you are found to be abusing it.

Not just season pass etc but additional map etc. I’ve never seen this happen but it’s in the terms. I think it’s mainly there so they can refuse ultimate editions etc which have been opened.

    • Steven Reece Lewis on 10/10/2018 - 19:36

      I have only got one plastic sealed copy of a game from EB and that was assassin's Creed Odyssey last week for PS4 on day of release. I had pre-ordered the PC gold edition through greenmangaming and was annoyed at the poor performance on PC due to it eating up CPU like a ravenous dog. At 30fps it's better but it has poor frame pacing like Bloodborne. It eats CPUs and isn't really well optimised. Decided to go to EB and get the PS4 version to run on my PS4 pro. To my surprise, it had a bit of frame pacing and streaming issues much like running the PC version at 30fps cap. Took it back 2 days later and was given a refund. But I felt bad because I know the next guy to walk in will probably end up with my used copy which looks new but isn't sealed so is technically and possibly legally not "new".

  • [Deactivated] on 10/10/2018 - 14:49
    +5

    In my opinion this isn't worth it. Same price at JB (less $6 cashback) and people who pre-order generally want to play on release day. The Spiderman Amazon pre-order deal had a few comments warning of late shipments. This releases on a Friday. If you don't get it Friday you'll be waiting until the Monday mailman. Is that a risk worth taking for the sake of the cash back?

    • Julius on 10/10/2018 - 14:51

    • PurchaseAnxiety on 10/10/2018 - 16:19

      Prime only "guarantees" 2 day shipping? I and use quotations, because from my experience, Amazon really don't seem to care if this guarantee is actually honoured. So there's really no telling when you'll get it.

      • Anotherozbargainer on 10/10/2018 - 16:27

        When you actually check out and select expedited shipping it says "get it on its release day: October 26". Not sure if this counts..
