so a question about amazon US. my cousin is going to the states and returning on the 29th of april. Uncharted is coming out on 26th of april. so this means i can order a special edition uncharted.

so if i pre-order from amazon (and not on release day, but like a month earlier) would i get it on the 26th? what are the chances of it getting delayed? its price is listed as 79$ bucks on amazon, are there any additional charges i should be aware of?

I dont know, i never made a Pre-order, because the deals are good only on USA, Europe, Japan, and here we have more than 60% of Import Tax, more the Tax for they take care of the product, and also have a Tax for start the Tax's process, so is really useless import something from other country, here on Brazil.

If you pre-order specific products (Check the page.), they will incentivize the order by guaranteeing release date delivery. With Amazon Prime, I usually get pre-orders on or the day before the official release date.

Also, anything shipping within the continental US should arrive within in 2-3 days of the intial ship date (USPS, FedEx, or UPS).

You're stretching it a bit with Titanfall and Dead Rising being big, though them being console exclusive does elevate the status moreso than markjeting deals for multiplat titles.. Titanfall wasn't an established franchise, and Dead Rising doesn't reach the Fifa, CoD, Madden level. RoTR and Fallout though are certainly big name franchises. 

Dead Rising and Titanfall were big 3rd party deals. Dead Rising is a big franchise while Titanfall was highly anticipated and made by the ex cod people. The same way the destiny, watchdogs and what ever Kojima comes up with next are all big third party deals for Sony. Being a new IP doesn't exclude it from being a big deal.

OK reading Jason's post again he did say "big deal", which means more than just franchises with historically substantial sales. But I'm still dubious about the bigness of the DR3 deal. It never felt like a significant thing to me.

I think I've never seen a 3DS bunduru on this list. Does is mean that it will sell a bit better than usual in January?



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Man, if you are buying it from Amazon to deliver in USA you won't have tax. Not much chance of delaying. Just do the preorder right now, because you will only be charged when they have the item. those 3-4 days should be plenty for them to delivery with no need for special shipment, but if you want to be sure just pay the one day (or do the trial for the amazon prime).

Why does Amazon still have Pokken as dec 31st 2016 when Nintendo already gave us the release date.
