Game is great, Amazon is awful

I had preordered this with Amazon. They chose to ignore their price guarantee and jack the price up by $20. The game is excellent, so don't let it stop you from playing it, just don't buy it here.

My letter to Amazon:
This morning I received an email from Amazon stating that they were raising the price of a pre-order for Rainbow Six: Vegas for Playstation 3. I had originally pre-ordered the game for $39.99 and the price was raised to $59.99. I have read your policy on pre-orders and it is pretty clear to me that it is worded in such a way that you can change the price of items at your whim. The vague wording of the agreement indicates to the consumer that we will be guaranteed the lowest price offered throughout the time of the pre-order. You have not adhered to this.

I realize the lower price was more than likely a mistake, and I can accept that you have to raise the price back up. What troubles me is that you waited a few weeks to do it, not immediately after the mistake was found. So here I am waiting weeks under the assumption you are going to honor your price when I could have pre-ordered with another retailer.

I know this isn't the first email you have received on this subject today, so please spare me the standard form letter that you'll be sending back. After this fiasco, as well as the Xbox 360 fiasco (of which I'm sure you're well acquainted with by now) and some other errors with orders I have had over my many years as a customer, I am really no longer interested in being your customer anymore. Furthermore, I intend to discourage any of my friends and family from using your services from here on out. You used to be a good place working for the consumer, but have since turned into the Walmart of the internet, only interested in the dollar, not the consumer experience. The least you could have done was offer me a $10 discount or something similar, but instead chose to create bad press and lose customers.

If you choose to write back, please do so from an actual person dealing with my actual problem and wanting to rectify the situation. The form letter does nothing but infuriate people.

360 version rules, this should be no different.

This game was jaw dropping on the 360, the PS3 version will be no exception. As for the people that got jacked on the price, I dont know why you even bought into it in the first place, Amazon dosent set the price, the companies in charge of distribution to Amazon do. It was a glitch, a mistake, and im sure people that program the site are human and make mistakes too. So what I am hearing is that you as humans dont expect other humans to make mistakes? That sounds like a load of hypocrisy to me. Look, pay the 60 bones, get over it, and we can all hold hands and sing 'Mary had a little Lamb' together in the forest, k?

Game is great, sound is amazing, graphics are spectacular, nuff said.

Great game...! (The reviews are for the game, not for Amazon)

In this review section, you are supposed to rate the quality of the game, not Amazon. So by all of you giving bad ratings to "Amazon", you are all making the game look bad...Please stop this!! Thanks!

The game is great and although there are a few minor tweaks to the PS3 version of this game, it is basically just the same as the Xbox 360 version.

If you haven't played this game and you own a PS3, this is a MUST-BUY!

Worse than the Xbox 360

This games gameplay is OK. The reason it got a 3 star rating is because the graphics on it suck compared to the Xbox 360 version. Also this game no long is tactical like the old Rainbows. It's more like run and gun now.

Very COOL game

This game is sooo Cool on the PC, but i never really played the multiplayer version of it. But i'm definately getting it for the PS3, highly recommended. Only thing that sucked is that i had to cancel my order, cuz the shipping got delay from 2 day shipping to 11 days...so i'm just gonna stop by ebgames and get it.

NIce beautiful

If you are looking for a game to play at the level of Resistance Fall of Man, this is not quite at that level. The graphics are decent but I think it could have been brought up a couple notchs. The game play is fast and I haven't noticed any problems with the frame rates yet. I still have to get onto multiplayer since I am learning the controls and my review is based solely on the single-player game. So if you are dying to get a game for your PS3 since there is such a lack of titles its pretty good but it still has a ways to go to be great. It seems that most of Ubisofts ports that have come over to Sony consoles were always a bit short of the 360 versions and this is no exception.

Buy Now!

Only buy this game if your cool, 'cause this game is cool. You've got to use your brain though, very tactical if your into that stuff, (not for run and gun) which I am, so I bought it. You should to.

VERY cool!!!

So, to start. If I see one more "Xbox 360 this and that compared to PS3" I'm going to throw up. I hope you feel the same. Folks, they are 2 different systems, both are great for their own reasons, no need to compare.

So for Rainbow Six: Vegas on the PS3. I've never played it on 360, never looked at it on 360, never really cared to. All I can say is, the game plays fantastic, it doesn't feel like some "ported" game. The graphics look great, I am yet to have any loss of framerate, everything is super fluid, controls are fantastic as well.

The controls feel extremely natural, all the buttons are in just the right spot, and overall the game plays extremely well, I was very impressed. You aren't trying to quickly switch between stick and d-pad/buttons to do certain things, for instance, instead of pressing down on the d-pad to kneel, you just press down on your left thumbstick that you almost always already have your thumb on. Everything plays this way.

The campaigns are interesting and fun, and the weapons seem quite accurate. The only thing I really dislike about the campaign is checkpoint saves, in fact, I DESPISE checkpoint saves, and the checkpoints often times are far apart. It forces you to play more carefully, but can be extremely frustrating at the same time. But it's not a make or break thing.

The squad controls are very well done as well, they are extremely easy to work with, in fact, you only use 3 buttons, one to call them closer/stop them, one to tell them to hold fire or fire at will, and the last button you use to tell them where to go, which works by just looking somewhere with your crosshairs and pressing the button.

The A.I. is phenominal, your squad clears rooms properly, takes cover, etc... I was blown away. The enemies seem to work together and take cover as well. This also has the option for cover fire much like Gears of War, really neat.

Online Multiplayer is a great addition, almost everyone uses a headset as well and the player base is quite mature and pleasant to play with. The maps are great and the play types are fun too. I honestly can't get enough online multiplayer, I'm on it all the time. And it's only been a couple days since release! There are a couple glitches like lag and what not with MP, but the game was just released, most of these issues get fixed right away.

In conclusion, this game is a must have. Ignore the 360 vs PS3 garbage. Everything plays fantastic, graphics are great, and the online (FREE on ps3) works really good too with lots of players already.

Buy the game!!!!
