To have it now? Or rather, release day?

This is been going on for years now. If you want it on release day, expect to pay a little more. Those whoa re patient, will pay less.

The problem with this thread is that the game could be had for 39.99 on preorder as long as you were a frugal shopper so not seeing the issue.

At first I read the title as "Shogun 2 drops $40 on Amazon". I wish...

Amazon drops their prices ALL the time. They always have promos and stuff running. For instance, Tekken 6 (not a PC game, but still) I managed to get for $20 less than a month after it was released. The game will still sell for $50 at most places, but you can most certainly expect to pay cheaper prices at Amazon as they have deals going on all the time.

Perhaps it's not selling well. It does seem like just another re-skin of Empire, after all. I was not even close to impressed by the demo.

I love Amazon. Thanks for the post; it's a good deal.

The game is hardly a reskin of Empire.

With this being just for the Digital Version, as the Hard Copy is stilll $50, I think Amazon is just trying to get a cut of the Digital Sales as Shogun 2 is topping the Charts at Gamersgate, Direct2Drive and Steam ever since it released.

Amazon does this with every game, games be 40-50 bucks within a week and less within a few months(Dead Space 2, Killzone 3, Homefront, etc.). Why pay 60 or even 50 when you can do 40?:D

I pre-order titles that I really, really want to play asap, for other titles I'm willing to wait, indeed I waited to buy games almost 1 - 4 years after release eg,

Witcher original release 2007 - just got it 2011,

GRID orginal release 2008 - just got it 2011,

Lost Planet 2 orginal release 2010 - just got it 2011,

and on and on, however as I get older, closer to middle age the less I'm willing to wait for obvious reason.

if I buy the game off Amazon, do I get a key right away I can sync with Steam? Or do I need to download the entire game via whatever Amazon uses first?

You should get a key. The game has to work with steam. I got mine of D2d using the 20% discount (the one weeks ago), got activation code and put it in steam and was good to go. Same principle will work with amazon.jedikevin2

This game does absolutely nothing to revolutionize strategy gaming. It's really just more of the same.
