I'll be getting my Switch and BOTW from the EB games that is mere blocks from my place right after work rather than dealing with couriers trying to deliver when I'm not home.
The only deals on Amazon now are if you pay for Twitch Prime or Amazon Prime, then you get 20% off on new pre-ordered games.

Tested it out with Yakuza 0 and disappointed, their system ran out of stock and my order might get cancelled.

Physical stores still have more promotions and the ability to browse through their recycled stock and price matching with other physical stores to make it worthwhile. FFXV was $50 during Boxing Week at Best Buy and EB Games IIRC.
