Missed the Horizon Forbidden West deal earlier this morning, but realised that if I preorder, I can capture any good deal before the actual release.
PS4 and XSX version also available for same price.
This item will be released on February 25, 2022.
CamelCamelCamel.
shoot, is this a thing? Have some preorders with amazon at the moment
every single Amazon game order I've made has arrived on release day for the last 3 years
Yeah that's been my experience but I rarely preorder games so I don't have a big sample size, and no experience during any COVID
Every single game I've preordered from Amazon hasn't and usually arrives on the following Monday if it released on Friday, unfortunately. Maybe it depends on where you are.
+1
If you want to play on release day, don't pre-order from Amazon.
I had a few Amazon preorders last year that delivered the Monday or Tuesday after a Friday release and that was during normal days (ie. no lockdowns).
JB is selling at $89 now and I'm sure (hope) they will lower it to $79 before release so I can click and collect on release day.
Amazon has never delivered a game on release day, no matter what delivery you select. It's a known problem they choose to ignore and they give you some small compensation if you make a big song and dance about it. Everyone knows you don't pre order from Amazon if you actually want it on release.
100% success rate getting preorders on release date. If you are serviced by Amazon Flex and it is a major release you should be close to certain of getting it on release.
If it is coming through AusPost etc then more risky.
The pc pre order through Amazon doesn't mention what DRM it uses. I'm hoping steam (anything but epic really)
I'm waiting hopefully for a special edition with some collectible figurine or some such. Taking their sweet time announcing one.
Likewise. Did the same with Demon Souls but it never came to fruition
I don’t buy base game, neither with all dlc or nothing.
You will be missing then
No I will wait 2 years when all goty edition is out.
All of Sekiro's DLC was free from memory
@Asterix1: Sekiro had post launch content but not really DLC in terms of size.
All three Dark Souls games and Bloodborne had at least one DLC each
@FireRunner: Sekiro didn't have a real DLC with additional story or content. It was just a boss rush mode and some new costumes. And it came out almost a year after launch?
I know this is ozB but waiting 2 years to save maybe $20 seems a bit extreme.
ps4 79, ps5 79.9 pc 79.
xbox 89 WHY
Elden ring of death
Wondering the same thing. It’s like they don’t want Xbox sales or something
Less demand for xbox. Soulsborne series were always ps oriented
Op what is there to miss out on with horizon fw?

It was cheaper earlier, $80 or so
Unless you care about the box's appearance, you could probably just buy the PS4 version for $89 (since you missed the $88 sale) and get the free upgrade:
https://www.amazon.com.au/Horizon-Forbidden-West-PlayStation…
Players who purchase Horizon Forbidden West on PlayStation 4 will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free

@stevelovestacos: Maybe a stupid question, is there such thing as a ps4 version 'running' on a ps5? Or is the free upgrade just a ps5 version of the game? Get what i mean?
@Kammi: When you put a PS4 game into a PS5 it loads it as a PS4 game, running as a PS4 Pro version. If it has an upgrade option, free or not, you go into the PSN store and grab the upgrade, then the PS5 version is downloaded and can be played.
They're referring to the sudden short time drop to $88 earlier today.
If you had pre-ordered it yesterday at $109, you will now have $88 locked in via the pre-order price guarantee. It's updated in orders already.
So similar would apply to this, if you pre-order Elden Ring now and price goes up tomorrow, you're locked in to $79 max.
If either goes down in price between now and launch, you pay the lowest price offered.
Excited for this game. The fact that it releases cheaper than Demon Souls is pretty good, I just hope it's as good or better game.
because its not Sony Crap that they price it obnoxiously
HZB pricing was only good because its a Sony first party game and Sony is price gauging the generation. Third party games have been much more reasonably priced, Elden ring was never going to be $125.
oooooh
ooooooooooooooohhhhh Elden Ring…..
I'm sorry EBGames and other brick-and-mortar retailers, but this price is just too good to pass up compared to the RRP that most of you charge for.
It's only $10 cheaper than JB
Hey $10 is a $10. Who am I to say no to that 😋
True, would rather be able to get it on release day from JB though
ive been so hyped for this game that i had to watch all 3 Lord of the Ring movies in one sitting satisfy my excitement.
Yeah good call. Especially when the game is heavily linked to episode 1 and 2 from LOTR
Stop preordering gamesssss
People can do whatever they like with their money, and when pre-ordering can save you money there's a good reason for it
Preordering never saves you on money if the game was never worth buying to begin with or at that time. Cyberpunk still isn’t worth it after all this time.
generally I agree but I doubt FROM SOFTWARE could do any wrong.
Ah yes the game GRRM worked on but has no in-game writing contributions. Sure to be great.
I haven't heard that. What's the story there?
In what universe? We've known for months (if not longer) that GRRM just built the world. Is this really a reason for you to imply the game is going to be bad..? Because they got one of the biggest writers of the modern era to build the world for them..?
Don't pre-order. Buy it if it's a good game.
Don't tell us what to do Karen.
I traded a tennis game on the switch and black ops 3 for xbox to get the $29 deal at ebgames.
or you could order from https://www.mightyape.com.au/brands/elden-ring and not give more money to bezos
![[Pre Order, XSX, PS5, PS4] Elden Ring $79.90 (Was $109.95) Delivered @ Amazon AU](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/21/649321.jpg?h=7fae67c6)
With release day being a Friday this is a game I'll want to play that weekend. Amazon has struggled since Covid to deliver games on release day so I'll stick with JB.
