For years, Amazon Prime users would receive 20 percent off of video game preorders, from digital copies of PS4 games to physical copies of Nintendo Switch titles. But -- buried at the bottom of a Twitch Prime announcement -- we just spotted that Amazon is ending those discounts, effective Aug. 28.

Those changes mirror those made by Best Buy when it decided earlier this year to sunset its Gamers Club Unlimited program, which offered 20 percent off video game preorders among other discounts. Best Buy replaced that perk with a $10 certificate when purchasing select titles. Sound familiar?
