47% sounds nice, but when you take into account that no one will be charging $29.99 even after the release week sale, it's not as impressive :-) That's the one thing that annoys me about Amazon, the % discounts look great until you realize that it's a % off of a price that almost no one charges.
BestBuy.com lists the release week sale price at $18.99 at the moment, so the Amazon price is still pretty good if you can swing the free shipping.

Some preorders discounted more than usual on Amazon
Got an email today from Amazon that my Cinderella: Platinum Edition was reduced in price. It's now $16.99. Same with Crash (2005). There are more in this thread: http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=430713 - would be nice to compile a complete list of these "abnormal" discounts.

Are you saying that you pre-ordered it, and since they reduced the price, they're now giving it to you for the lower price? I'm curious because amazon.ca has never done that. It would be nice to not have to always check the price and then possibly cancel and re-order if it's cheaper.

Polar Express is also 47% off.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is $8.33 (72% off) -- this one looks like it may be a discount in advance of a price drop.

I wonder why Amazon has not listed the I love Lucy, seasons 1 through 5 box set that comes out in less than a month. Just wondering, I emailed them about a week ago about it.
