Amazon Rolls Out Release-Day Game Delivery

Posted by Soulskill on from the for-the-lazy-and-impatient dept.

1Up reports that Amazon has launched a new service for getting certain games into the hands of customers on release day, rather than simply shipping the games on release day. According to the press release, the service will be free for Amazon Prime customers, and available to everyone else for a $5.98 charge on upcoming titles Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Fable 2 and Gears of War 2. They tested the program recently with the release of Soul Calibur IV.

  1. Like the warez scene has done for years? by Lord_Sintra · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So, Amazon have finally caught up with 0day warez. Shame most games can be obtained at -1day, or more, if you know the right websites. And it doesn't cost an extortionate amount..
