When I ordered on Amazon (UK), it said that I’d be charged the lowest price they offer between now and the launch date, so if there are any (further) discounts later on, I’ll get them. I’m guessing this is the same for the US.
I can confirm that’s the case for Amazon US as well.
“If the Amazon.com price decreases between the time you place your order and the end of the day of the release date, you’ll receive the lowest price, either through a price adjustment in your unshipped order, or through a refund within 24-72 hours following the release date.”
The price is set by the publisher, so for now there’s nothing we can do directly reduce the price of the book on Amazon, etc. (In the future, an EA publishing house could make sure EA books are priced more accessibly! See Fin Moorhouse’s post here)
In the coming months, we’ll likely partner with bookstores to do pre-order discounts (eg. 25% off), and EA groups can use funding to purchase copies of the book for their members. So if pre-ordering now is price prohibitive, there will be other opportunities later on to pre-order.
Curious to know what kind of services a publisher provides, in this case I imagine the PR team and outreach is not being spearheaded (or paid for by the publisher)? Can someone steel man for me?
Any chance the price could be reduced to lower the barrier to pre-ordering? It costs $30 on Amazon US for a hard copy, which is a lot to ask for.
