Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), the eclectic online store, is providing an added service for gamers. The company will offer release-date delivery for certain games, namely “Fable 2,” “Gears of War 2,” “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed,” and “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09.”

            While Amazon Prime customers will receive release-date delivery for free, other customers can choose to upgrade their shipping option for $5.98. Considering the prices (and/or wait) of other shipping methods, along with gas prices, waiting in line, and the possibility of the game being sold out, $5.98 is a pretty good deal for those who can’t wait to play a game.

            An email from an Amazon representative confirmed that this is not a one-time deal, but rather an “ongoing initiative,” and that while it is currently only available with a select number of video games, the company “hopes to expand [their] selection in the future.”

            “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09” is actually currently available, so the shipping option may not be as relevant. As for the other games, “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed” will be released on September 16, “Fable 2” will be released on October 21, and “Gears of War 2” will be released on November 7.
