Sadly does not apply to digital downloads, but it does apply to boxed PC games too not just console.

I was going to pre-order X-Com 2 for PC as just a code, but to save the $12 I'll have to order a physical copy instead ( #firstworldproblems )

This equates to $12 off any pre-order. That is a nice discount. Cancelling my gamestop preorders for garden warfare 2 and dark souls 3

Not to thread crap but Greenman gaming usually has a 20% coupon on their main page if you don't have Prime and want a PC digital copy. As a matter of fact I received a 25% off coupon in an email today that works with certain titles. I have xcom 2 and far cry primal in my cart for $90 ($45 each).

There are also other semi-shady stores that have close to a 50% discount. They get their keys from other countries that sell them cheaper.

I would personally like to use a reputable vendor and not deal with certain shady dealers. Plus i dont want to get nailed for using keys from other regions. With over 400 titles in my library....that would suck.

Amazon doesn't have physical copies of the games I want to preorder, such as Rise of the Tomb Raider...only PC Download. Sigh.

I doubt they would kill your account. I guess it's possible they could blacklist the key though. If steam did either I imagine it would tick thousands of their customers off so there seems to be an unspoken truce. I'm not trying to change your mind, I'm simply stating my opinion. I personally wouldn't risk the $32 for a preorder but I would risk the $19 I payed for Shadow of Mordor GOTY and Mad Max. I just thought I would throw the info out for other folks who aren't loaded.

Greenman is a nice and legit alternative though for PC users. And if you got the 25% off code in their email they are cheaper.

I'll be quiet now.

If it werent for the size of my library i would totally give it a shot, but as its grown i just nervous about it

Your post still gives good info on alternatives to Prime, nothing wrong with that.

I've used Greenman for a few years now, great site and never had a problem with them either
