If you do not currently own the $99 a year service offered by Amazon that gives you free 2-day shipping and other benefits, there is one more reason why you should. All the Amazon Prime members will be given an additional 20% discount on any new video game for a period of two weeks after they are released as well as all the games that they preorder. The discount is applicable on all the video games for consoles such as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that normally sells for about $60. This means that your favorite games will now be available for a price of $48 to $50. If you buy a lot of games, then these discounts can add up to huge savings, as reported by Time.

The 20% discount is also applicable on collector's edition, known for its other bonuses to their loyal fans and are priced between $80 and $200. The pricier the game, the more discount you get! While it may seem like an attractive deal for the customers but for Amazon it is a smarter move. Amazon Prime is one of the premium offerings of the company and selling at a price of almost $100, they give their customers free 2-day shipping and loads of bundled offers. The customers often find value in being part of Amazon Prime deal, not to mention the access they enjoy of the multimedia library. There are also other perks including special discounts on Amazon products. The most important reason why Amazon pushes their Prime service is because the customers spend more on the site as compared to non-members, says Business Insider. Hence the company is always looking for new ways to attract more customers into joining the prime. The latest move is sure to attract a lot of gamers out there who buy games heavily, according to Tech Insider.
