Shack PSA: Modern Warfare 2 on Amazon Includes $20 Game Credit

If you already pre-ordered do you get this?

In other words, "Someone please find a way to make the preorder cancellations stop!"

still not ordering. nice try though.

On the whole dedicated server thing, I guess I personally don't care, except for one thing, the fear that this represents a trend where the strengths of the PC platform are neutered and diminished. I get the need for devs/publishers to want to curb piracy and provide better experiences for "more" of their customers as well as the desire to control and profit from DLC. But I think IW's approach (or at least their rationalizations thus far) is off base for a couple reasons:

1. There are other ways to (attempt to) solve piracy and is it really that hard to allow both experiences to customers (simple online matchmaking as well as dedicated servers/server browsing)
2. Are we really at the end of the curve where there's no more value in the hardcore few who make maps, mods & run servers to keep games alive long after their release. Does user made content really compete with DLC? Aren't there other ways to support and work with game communities where they can actually help drive use and revenue of the game? I realize 14 million copies of the first game were sold, but of that number how many were really playing 6 or 12 months online after release? It is so hard to get paying customers these day, let alone RABID fanboism that this seems like the very best way to alienate them.

Hah I cancelled my order through Amazon thats funny.

does amazon.ca have same day shipping? I couldn't find it :(

Any confirmation if LAN is still in this game? We have a LAN gaming session coming up and was hoping that LAN is still available?????

tempting, but i have a bunch of store credit i could use up at Best Buy.
i dont buy games at amazon so the credit won't really be all that useful. if it was $20 credit for anything at amazon i'd do it.

Hmm...might have to do this and use the other $20 towards Dragon Age or ACII collector's!

wow - thank you amazon - u just got my order and brought the price down to something much more palatable.
