We got an email from the ECA asking that we send this on:

Some digging looks like you can get discounts from Amazon, Newegg, the Penny Arcade Expo, and a few other deals.
The ECA is dedicated to providing a wealth of community and affinity benefits to our members. With membership, you can connect with like-minded gaming fans, explore career and educational opportunities in the business, and more. Membership can also provide a wealth of discounts, trial offers and members-only access, much of which rationalizes the cost of member dues many times over. If you are a gamer and spend money on enthusiast magazines, or rent games and do so regularly, these benefits make it so that you would pay far less. New offers are posted frequently in the Benefits Section, and accessible once logged-in, so check back often.
