Amazon Prime offers free release day shipping

[Zook]

If any of you college students haven't already heard, Amazon is offering a full year of their Prime membership for free to anyone with an email address that ends .edu (a college inbox). It's a pretty sweet deal and advertises free two day shipping but what it doesn't mention that may be even sweeter is that also includes free release day shipping for video games. That's right free same day delivery. So if you are in college, I would strongly advise you sign up, I've been very happy with it so far.

You can go find the offer here, Amazon Student
Just thought I would share this deal with you guys.

Thank God, you just reminded me to get that. Q-Q

Isn't release-day shipping only on certain titles? Such as ones that have received a large amount of reservations?

Even then, you'd still get two-day shipping on them if they didn't get the reservations, I'm assuming. :S

AND one day shipping is only like...$2.99....which is what you would pay in tax anyway...and considering that they ship the day before release....even if they didn't offer release date shipping, you'd probably get it the day of release date anyway for the same price as in store.

Depends on the game. For instance I'm pre-ordering NFS Hot Pursuit for $56. Gamestop would be $60 in store and online is over that, same with any other electronics store.
