I like to use Amazon to buy my games.  It saves me a trip to Gamestop and I generally pay less money for my games than I would if I walked into a store and bought them on release day.   The only thing that has been holding me back exclusively is the fact that despite offering Release Day Delivery they are highly inconsistent in regards to actually fulfilling that promise.   When Metroid: Other M released it was supposed to be here on release day because I had paid the extra money to have it delivered then yet instead in showed up two days later.  Whilee Metroid: Other M could be chalked up to a one off, today they lost a lot of my confidence in their service.  
 
I have committed to doing the Hooked Gamers review of Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and so I ordered it from Amazon selected release day delivery and today I have no game.  In fact the game has not even shipped yet.  What I have gotten from Amazon is a sorry, we're going to refund your shipping money and send it out to you soon.  Soon?  When is soon?  Will I get it tomorrow?  How about the next day? 
 
This puts me in a bind because I am now going to have to rush my playthrough of the game to write up the review.  Amazon, you have failed me.  I have no trust in you anymore you dirty traitorous bitch.  OK, maybe that is a little harsh but still I have little to no confidence that they are going to have Medal of Honor to me on release day and I need it that day to run a community night.  Has anyone else had issues with Amazon's supposed release date delivery?

All i can say is at least its not gamestop.

That's rough. You should have realized the importance of getting the game on release day though, and just went in to a store. Oh well. Live and learn.

You gotta pay for a game you're reviewing for someone else?

Maybe you should have gone to Gamestop.

Play GH5, but play the songs in Guitar Hero WOR over it. Done.

No need to ask, they automatically refunded the shipping fee, its just that it put me in a bad spot with writing my review.

The price of laziness, it would seem. Use your legs, head to a store for Medal of Honor. You're not really saving any money if you're paying extra for shipping, that doesn't even work.
