Yup, they changed their tune today, I just called and asked. Back to the store!

So has anyone heard anything on whether or not Amazon will be honering this promotion? I sent them an email but haven't heard back yet. I'm seriously considering cancelling my preorder. It still shows my total at $99.98 for both versions (they are on the same transaction as the announcement stated).

Well I currently have both ordered for $68 total but I could get both for $60 if amazon starts honoring the deal

To elaborate:

Word came down this morning from the top about the deal - the individual stores apparently weren't aware of this deal yesterday. I called back just in case and they said they were honoring it now. Ran down to Gamestop, got it pre-ordered, and I'll be picking it up Monday night! If you got snubbed yesterday, call again - you may get a different response today.

One thing: If you decide to pay for it in full when you preorder, you will be temporarily paying the price of both games. I was told the deal would only be honored when I go to pick the games up - in other words, I'll get $20 cash (yes, I made sure it isn't just store credit) back when I hit up GS Monday night for the games.

Is this a special deal, or just some new fangled math the kids are using these days?

I got in on the newegg deal for $48 and then used the $20 credit for preordering the Vita from amazon and used that credit on The Show on the Vita.

So yes they were both deals but both were very easy to get in on.

I have both preordered from Amazon as well and I'm still waiting to see if Amazon picks this deal up. One thing i have noticed for the Vita version, it doesn't appear to be release date delivery like the PS3 version. Messaged them on twitter inquiring about it but still no response. Has anyone else noticed this?

Well, I just went to my local Gamestop this afternoon and while the manager had vaguely heard of this deal they were not at this time doing the deal. He checked for corporate emails while I was there and........nothing. He did say that if it was on the website for "online" that the stores would be honoring it as well and that I could get the $20 back when I picked the games up. Apparently not ALL Gamestops are up to speed on this deal yet.
