F.A.Q's

What is Amazon Warehouse Deals?
From Amazon: Get deep discounts on open-box, like-new, refurbished, or used products that are in good condition but do not meet Amazon.com's rigorous standards as "new".

Warehouse Deals is part of amazon that has open box, new but with damaged packaging product aka "dinger" and trade ins in generally like new condition. They are considered 3rd party by affiliation and as such the "Amazon Warehouse Deals" distinction but are still part of Amazon.

Is the Amazon Warehouse Deals return policy the same as Amazon's return policy?
Yes! All purchases are eligible for Amazon customer service and 30 day return policy.

I'm using the games sort by console link, and the games will not sort by price properly. What is wrong?
You aren't doing anything wrong, the sort by price feature on Amazon is broken during restocks and or when pricing algorithm goes haywire. During those times, prices don't adjust and assimilate with the current inventory quickly enough to show the sorting as such

I'm waiting for a ps4, xb1, 360, ps3, 3ds, or PS Vita to pop up.. What time do they usually appear?
They can show up any time, the best way to find it is have the item tabbed on your browser, and download an auto refresh app and frequently check it, and or set alerts... Sometimes they will not pop up on amazon warehouse deals storefront, you will need to check the "used" section of the item

Why did all the prices of games randomly jump up?
Games on warehouse deals generally go on a cycle. They will get extremely low, great deals.. Then they will jump back up and restart the cycle of falling in price again.

I have a gaming credit and/or an Amazon gift card. Can both of these be applied to Warehouse Deals orders?
Gift cards can be applied to orders made on warehouse deals, however video game credit is only good for items shipped and sold by "amazon.com", warehouse deals does not count as this.

What was Penny Deals?
In early September of 2011, tons of newer release, more expensive games popped up for 1 penny each. Many CAG members placed orders, expecting them to get cancelled. Some were cancelled, however many CAGS got a large amount of games for a penny each. There has been no confirmation what exactly happened and why these games were sold for a penny.

What states does Amazon charge sales tax?
Items sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the following states are subject to tax:

Arizona
California
Connecticut

Florida
Georgia
Indiana
Kansas
Kentucky
Massachusetts
Nevada
New Jersey
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Pennsylvania
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin

Note: No sales tax is charged when purchasing gift cards; however, purchases paid for with gift cards may be subject to tax.

What do you mean by a "dinger"?
Dinger = Item is new but the packaging is damaged in some way or form.

These are speculative guesses at best going by descritption of any given item and also taking into account the length of time an item has been out since its release. Shorter the span of time from release of a game or console, better the chance of scoring a new item with damaged packaging aka "dinger".

What condition are products from Warehouse Deals generally in?
First and foremost all games from AWD are considered used unless specified as new. Usually, games are re-shrinked wrap and depending on condition they can be perfect / brand new, brand new with damaged packaging aka "dinger" to just a game in a generic case. AWD has 5 condition criteria for their listings and they are:

New: Just like it sounds. A brand-new, unused, unopened video game in perfect condition in its original packaging and with all original packaging materials included.

Like New: An apparently unopened video game in perfect condition (although it may be out of its original wrapping). The box and item are pristine, with no signs of wear. Suitable for presenting as a gift. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Very Good: A well-cared-for video game that has been played but remains in great condition. The game and its original packaging are complete and slightly worn, but unmarked and undamaged. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Good: The video game shows wear from consistent use, but remains in good condition. There may be clear external signs of wear and damage to the original packaging or instructions, but the game plays perfectly. The video game may have identification markings from its owner. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Acceptable: The video game is fairly worn, but it continues to work perfectly. The box and instructions may be missing or damaged. The video game may have identification markings from its owner. Sellers are required to note whether the box or instructions are missing in the condition notes field for the item. Activation codes for bonus online content may be missing or expired. Product may not include downloadable content.

Any game I have personally ever bought in good or above condition has been in near mint condition. Acceptable ones have been a gamble. Getting DLC with games has also been a gamble and since AWD games are considered used, don't expect unused DLC even though there will be occassions where they may come unused. In regards to DLC, ymmv. Conditon wise, some people have reported that games were scratched with stickers on the insert. Consoles are also usually reported in like new or new condition with box damage. Rarely, a console may be missing a key component such as a power brick. Games listed in "acceptable" condition likely have very beaten up cases, or are missing cases and inserts, and are in not so great condition, but generally have a working game disc. Consoles listed in "acceptable" conditon can be either new in damaged packaging and or a pure gamble in what conditon they will truly be in along with what is included in the box depending on the time frame from release of the console.

Here is an example of a like new handheld (PS Vita) - Thanks Slixshot

P4 Golden added quite a few things: a new dungeon, 2 new social links, more time to max out the social links, new cutscenes, new songs, new personas, third tier personas for party members, new areas (and those are just some of the changes). Plus, the game has been pretty cheap the past few months, it is definitely worth double dipping imo.

They really remind of the "It's the same game just ported over" types. Regardless, it's their choice but I found enough content in Golden to warrant the purchase. Plus I enjoyed it very much the first time around so that was also a factor. Besides the new social links and the more time to mask them out and persona's there happens to be even more. Like new difficulty levels, several new music tracks, additional voice over dialogue, new animated cutscenes, new areas like the beach, okina city and a ski resort, Halloween event and a skiing trip event, The player can explore Inaba in the evening when Dojima isn't around. Scooters, Costumes, New Garden and Bug catching features, Vox Populi, SOS feature, new epilogue for the true ending, Tag Team Attacks, Rise helps in all out attacks, Calvary Attacks, TV listing menu for Music, Miracle Quiz Concept Art, Japanese trailers for old and recent Persona games and an Interactive Midnight Channel with Vita controls. If that doesn't happen to be more content besides the new social links and persona's I don't know what is.

Plus it's not just slapping it in a different box and distributing it here. There's a large amount of software work that would have to go into it. It came out missing features in Japan, missing support for a lot of games, and doesn't work with any NA PSN titles. I would love it to be able to play Vita games with a DS3/4 and PS4 on a different set but it's just not likely to happen sadly.

[They really remind of the "It's the same game just ported over" types.]  It is a port though. it is slightly enhanced but its still a port none the less and the new content just isn't enough for me to replay it when I liked the original enough as it was, maxed most of the social links in it and put over 100 hours in.

 I would gladly purchase it if it had something along the lines like p3p had.  That or was on the level of something like vesperia ps3.  If it had that much content I would of pounced in a second.

also whats so good about that ds lite?  didn't everyone basically get one for 20 a few months back?

Well I usually just use my reward points as statement credits but it was a couple bucks short this month so looks like I'll get something discounted on AWD. Just finding something cheap is pretty rare sadly. Even restock are just 2-3 dollars off MSRP

We're all hanging out in the Giada thread. That's where everyone posts the "real" deals now.

I just now saw those final fantasy and halo 2 CEs that were posted several hours ago. I just woke up and I was psyched to see that they were still in stock. Then on my phone I zoomed in and saw the prices jumped up 4x what they were before.

Yup. The bright side to slower deal activity is getting more time to play games. Last week was hard because of the Target trade in promo but I think the week before i logged in 15 hours of online competitive play.

I'm not denying that it's not a port. I don't think anyone in this thread who has had the chance to play Golden will deny that. I was just pointing out the fact that it has far more content than the original PS2 game and the added social links, more time to max them out and more persona from what you said. I enjoyed the game a lot when I first played it and while the added content is a bonus, I would have played it again without the added content. Which is undoubtedly nice to have and when Atlus does a port they usually go all-out with new content.

In the end it's your choice on whether or not you play it. I just don't understand people who say it's literally the same game from the PS2. While I don't see where 'slightly enhanced' comes in to play since I listed all of the rest content in my other post besides from what you and others have said. We'll probably have to agree to disagree on that point. It's most likely a subjective selling point, you just don't see enough for you to make the purchase, but obviously others do.

Ugh, I feel so stupid for buying a 64gb Vita card for $110 but I can't wait any longer. Wish I could have gotten one on AWD for around $80. I really needed it now though.

Damn $110 is crazy high man. People are getting the whole damn system bundle for around $130. Sony really needs to act on a memory card solution for the US. I'm in the same boat though so dont feel bad, just imported one myself.

 
Dang, even I won't defend the price of $110 but it's like I said on a different site for the most part concerning the prices of the memory cards and the smaller storage sizes.

While the PS Vita memory cards are expensive. It's only more expensive if you plan on continuing to purchase the memory cards that have the lower amount of GB's for save data and installing games over and over and over. That's when it becomes very expensive. I currently have 13 PS Vita games on my 4GB Memory Card. Obviously, the physical games take up less and if you really want some digital games you're going to have to do some research to see if it'll fit on your memory card. Or you'll have to and I highly doubt you're going to spend the money multiple times for a 16GB card or 32GB even though the price of entry is pretty expensive, it's cheaper in the long run. Not to mention how easy it was for past handhelds to get hacked by people because they didn't have dedicated memory cards like Sony has now. Will it stop people from hacking it? No it won't. However, it'll definitely start to prevent it. I only download games digitally if the price is enticing or if it's a game that's never going to see a physical copy on the system in my region. Or I could always import if I felt like it.

It's a bit like when you're picking out a Tablet, Smartphone or iPod or any device that has built-in/expandable storage. You aren't going to go for the smallest amount and then keep on purchasing that small amount over and over and over. I'd like to think that people will go for the biggest of at least the second biggest so it lasts longer for them in the long-run. Same analogy could be put towards batteries even though there's rechargeable ones (which don't last forever) you don't just keep buying something that'll be used up very quickly again and again just to go out and do it again.

I brought one myself 2 weeks ago around that price, so I know how you feel. I spent a week waiting for prices to stabilize, then leaped on the first one that popped up under 110$ with 2 day shipping.

While the price is high, not having to constantly redownload games feels amazing, or delete stuff to make room for patches.

Normally I wouldn't spend so much even though most of it came from trading my other cards to GS. Just me being so cheap, I wanted to spend the least amount of money possible. I been on a 4gb for the last week or so, but now I can go back to normal.

Edit- Ended up canceling and reordering a cheaper one at $107.89. Missed that the first time around. I can't wait to get it Thursday
 
The first thing I did with my BL2 bundle was sell off the memory card and buy the 64gb. I ordered from yes-asia or playasia or something like that. Shipping is super slow (been over a week already) but I got the price to be around $95 so I'm OK with that. It still stings having to pay that much for proprietary memory though. I purchased a 1TB HDD for my PS3 for $65 lol.

It'll be nice to have though, as I have years worth of Plus titles I've been waiting to play but have been sticking to my cart games until then.

 
I ordered a 64gb from superufo.com for $87 shipped with tracking from Hong Kong. It took 2 weeks to get here but we'll worth it. I can vouch that they are a legit site.

My Vita is digital only. I have a decent selection of games due to PS+ free games and discounts. Also picked up some digital codes from the trading section here on CAG.
 
Sony are complete turds like that. First you make a memory card that no one else uses and get people to buy. When prices finally start to become normal and accepted you bring out yet another memory card? fuckers. It's a small reason the Vita never appealed to me before. Too busy trying to make money off peripherals.

Just being taunted by the updates on the tracking. Their sorting facility is a five minute drive from my house. And then knowing that tomorrow, it moves towards a post office that is further away from where I live and they're just going to leave a note saying they missed me (and it's 90% false most of the time) and then drive there to pick it up. USPS is the worst.

Not a dinger since it had wording about previous owner. It's most likely a trade-in. Thanks for the post though.

It's not USPS, it's your mailman/woman. Report him/her and watch your packages arrive (maybe not in one piece though). I recommend you complain through the website to the postmaster instead of going over your local usps office.

I had a mailman do that to me once and it cost me the $80 I spent on an AV Famicom. He left one "missed you" note. Then he never delivered again after a few days. I checked the website tracking and it said I missed 3 delivery attempts and they shipped it back to Japan. Trouble was, the shipper had moved within that time and he never saw the system come back and I was out the money.

going to say this. propriatary memory does nothing for hacking. DS uses standard sd cards, psp used propriatary Sony cards and which one got hacked to oblivion? Both. but the DS survived due to it's huge libary of games and it's lower price point. Don't get me wrong, i love my vita and the 32gb card i have for it, but don't say it's because of deterring hackers because that's simply not true.

 
It's a profit and control thing with Sony.  The cards are high margin required items on a system with little to no margin and because only Sony makes them they're guaranteed to get their cut instead of you being able to buy any old cheap brand.

that true but Sony complains about vita sales numbers and stores barely stock vita stuff anymore now if the lowered memory card prices drastically sales on the system itself will probably almost double. I bet the high memory cards is one the major deter for vita not to reach it full potential

Highly unlikely. Vita sales are flagging because they are too expensive, don't have any must own games, and the mobile market is changing in the way it consumes portable media. The only way Sony will jump start vita sales is by creating some must have games or by drastically lowering the price. The remote play aspect does help a lot, but it still is more of a niche category.

The Vita TV could also be an interesting solution if it can create a Roku-like box that also happens to play vita games. If an all in one box that does netflix, hulu, and such that also happens to play vita games, that could drastically increase the install base of the system.

Sony doesn't seem to care too much about the Vita and I hope that changes.

Sadly, I think it's a Catch 22. Without a big install base, it's not worth it for devs to really make games for the Vita. But without the games, the Vita isn't going to sell a ton. And yes, before people come in and cite to 4 or 5 good vita games, the vita does have good games. But it doesn't have enough must have games to really drive people to drop $200 on a system.

If you are into Japanese games, it's a gamer's paradise.

I just finished Danganronpa, such an addicting game. And you can even "revisit" it by watching the anime.
