There are many advantages for getting an Amazon Prime subscription and the giant retailer is going to further sweeten the offer. In addition to free shipping, access to plenty of digital content including music, movies and TV shows, photo storage and Kindle books, Amazon is now ready to throw in a deal that will definitely appeal to a certain kind of customer: gamers.

DON’T MISS: AT&T brings back unlimited data plans, but there’s a big catch

The company announced that it’ll offer an impressive 20% off new physical video games during preorders through two weeks after release. That means all those expensive games you’re looking to purchase as soon as they come out will be even more affordable.

The offer is valid only for items that are sold and shipped by Amazon and will be extended to all existing Prime members who have already preorder games. The discount will be applied automatically at checkout, as long as there isn’t an even better promotion from the game manufacturer. Better yet, the discount is applied even to Collector’s Edition games, which are usually the more expensive option.
