Best five bucks I've ever spend.
Has anyone had their BOTW copies ship from Amazon yet? I preorderd mine way back on Jan. 14 (which I think was the first day preorders for it opened), but it's status is still listed as "not yet shipped." The expected ship date was today, and it's still listed as "Arriving Friday," but I'm starting to feel a little antsy. If it comes down to it I'll just buy it digitally, but I'd prefer to save the $12 through prime.

They'll ship it by drone at the last hour. Check outside when you see your lawn go up in a fiery conflagration.

Amazon sometimes does next day or overnight shipping, calm down. You'll get it on Friday.

Pretty much every time I order something with two day shipping, Amazon actually ships it the night before it's guaranteed delivery date.

Of course, you could've been smart like me and walked into your local game retailer of choice and ordered it and paid it off immediately, insuring you will get it as the clock strikes midnight. :smugbert:

Saving 12 bucks is too much incentive for me, and it's the only reason I'll bother with physical media these days.

I don't get PS4 discs because of the stupid defective eject button.

Is there a reason to get Mario Kart? I played through Mario Kart 7 since it came on my 2DS. Once I got through the 8 championships I realized that was the entire game and I didn't really want to do the other difficulties. Not really sure why I'd want to pay full price for a Mario Kart game. I'll be too busy Fast RMXing.

It's kind of crazy how Amazon has effectively brought the standard price of games down below where they were during the PS2 era. I know you have to have prime to take advantage, but prime pays for itself if you shop on Amazon only a few times a month.

Just one more thing!
Usually when I preorder from Best Buy I don't hear that mine has shipped until the day before, and usually it still arrives on release day. The only exception in recent memory I can think of was my copy of Tales of Berseria was a day late but that was apparently due some kind of freak accident happening with USPS, and even then I only had to wait an extra day.

Sonic CD was ok, the soundtrack was good at least.
