There is only a direct download version until September, so I don't think it can be linked through Amazon.
I can't believe Raiden Fighter Aces is 360 only, wtf its a Japanese arcade remake!!!! I would buy the fuck out of it for ps3.
How come Street Fighter IV is only on the PC link? Because the console versions came out before you were doing this?

Because the console versions came out before you were doing this? Bingo, do you want me to add a console link? Whenever you want to shop at Amazon and the item isn't at the store, click the link in the news box in the upper right of the page. The one that says Buy Stuff!

People who order a lot of games through amazon might want to look into getting an ECA membership. The website is a horribly designed mess, but among other things users get access to 10% off coupons for games and some game accessories. Membership is usually $19.99 for 1 year (or $14.99 for college students or people in the military), but there's currently a free membership deal going on through Sept. 30th. Two warnings though: 1) Like I said, the website is crap and so is creating an account. 2) They don't always have the 10% coupons available. They get stacks of codes at a time, and each code only works for one game, so if you're ordering or pre-ordering more than one game, you'll have to get several codes (which is easy) and make each purchase separately. It's a lot of hassle for just saving 10% but worth it in the long run if you buy most of your games through amazon. Edit: One of the other membership benefits is 20% of at gog.com

Maybe you should throw in some pre-orders like God of War 3 and Heavy Rain. At least that stuff you wouldn't have to change as often.

You may as well throw up a Play-Asia affiliate link there as well.

The Buy Stuff link hasn't worked for me at any point in the last couple months -- it brings me to the Amazon homepage. Known issue?

Does it bring you to amazon.com or to http://www.amazon.com/?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&tag=f13-20&link_code=hom&*entries*=0 ? I thought the latter is intentional and is a referral link which still gives credit to f13? I Know when I click the buy stuff link I get the referral website and not the basic amazon.com

Ah. Last time I looked through it, you had a page set up with recent releases.

Purchasing hardware from newegg helps pay schild's powerbilll keeps f13 running, right? Building a complete new rig within the next couple of weeks, soooooo...

That'd be nice. The return on Newegg is small, but can add up if everyone is buying stuff.

Which return is better for you? I bought my 2 versions of Fallout New Vegas threw Amazon, I'm not sure if it worked, but I clicked on your link and then bough the games. I need to buy some electronics and a couple more games, so I'll be sure & use Amazon when I can. Oh if you were using the white version of the browser you can't see the shop box, had to change to F13 and it can be seen.
