Amazon blocks non-Prime members from buying certain video games
I don't get it. As an incentive to sign up for Prime it makes no sense; Prime needs to offer me things I can't get elsewhere (or at least not for the same price), not return to me things that I can easily get elsewhere. I just spot-checked Amazon US's price for GTA 5, 39.88 [1], and it's the exact same price at Wal-Mart [2], so it's not an exclusive deal or something. (Nor did I spend several minutes hunting for a comparable price; it was the third hit on Google for "Grand Theft Auto 5 PS4" for me. Google being what it is now, YMMV.)I don't mean "this is a bad idea". I mean "I don't get it". What's the point?[1]: http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-V-PlayStation-4/dp/B0...[2]: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Grand-Theft-Auto-V-PS4/41049186
