Question about buying from Amazon

I see that they have Red Dead Redemption for pre-order and you get a $20 gift card with it. So if you plan on buying 2 games it's like getting $20 off which is amazing on a new game. But it says it takes 5-9 days for shipping. Does that mean 5-9 days after the release date? It doesn't matter either way because that's where I will be getting it from. I will gladly wait an extra week to get money off of the games that I purchase new. But that would be good info to know for future purchases from them.

Yes, from release date

Yeah, from release date. In my experience though they usually overestimate shipping times. I got DA: Awakenings from them on the day it released using the free super-saver shipping.

Amazon does ship stuff pretty fast usually

I think I saw something on amazon, about getting it on release day... And yeah they do over estimate delivery, last game i ordered was told it was going to take a week, ordered on sat, got it on mon. Must have been a short week..

If you pre-order a game with amazon weeks in advance you can get the game the day it releases for less than $5.. I'm getting Alan Wake and RDR May 18 and got like $30 or $40 in gift cards. Amazon FTW. (The total was like $97 + gift cards.)
