what's the point, why not just walk to a shop and buy the game?

To avoid crowds, save gas money, It is just nice to have something shipped to your house release date and not have to worry.

I think I'll just pick my games up at the store (e.g., Gamestop or Target, etc.). It's not like there are any coupons or savings from buying from Amazon anyway.

Of course, you do save if you buy from amazon.com. If you go to the store to buy games in the US it's about $64.00 & if you buy from amazon your really paying $59.99 without tax & free shipping.

I buy almost everything online now, including my games and this is good news to hear. Plus, I use Amazon.com ALL THE TIME and pre-order all my Blu-ray DVD's (they have much lower prices on Blu-ray's than retail) and DBZ DVD Season box sets from Amazon.com too. I hope that Amazon starts implementing this with all games though.

I always purchase from Amazon. Tax free and reliable and just easy to use. Release date delivery will just make most wanted games delivered to my house this much easier.
