My wallet is hating me right now.

This is what I've ordered since the New Year:

Batman Begins $9.99
Brokeback Mountain $9.99
Dark City $9.99 (I ordered this on the 16th; it has since dropped to $7.99. I have a e-mail in to CS to see if I can get a refund/credit for $2.)
Heathers $5.99
Ocean's Eleven $7.99
The Perfect Storm $7.99
The Proposition $6.99
Raging Bull $8.99

Don't waste your time. Amazon stopped with price drop guarantees about two years ago (excluding pre-orders only).

Very true. I tried shooting an email recently and just got nothing back.

Also, don't think it was mentioned but The Graduate is $9.99. I'm probably gonna bite.

I got the e-mail denying the refund/credit. Oh well, it was worth a try and now I know that they don't do that.

Back to emptying out my wallet.....

Even though amazon doesn't have a price adjustment policy anymore, it's still YMMV and it never hurts sending them an email asking for it. The last time I did it I got the following back
Hello from Amazon.com.


Thanks for writing to us about the recent price change on "product X". I recognize you have a choice of retailers and appreciate that you prefer to order from us. Unfortunately, we do not have a post-order price guarantee.


I've reviewed your order and see that the price change was significant and you just received this item from us. Under the circumstances, I'll make a one-time exception for you and issue a refund for the price difference in the amount of $x.


Please understand that I'm issuing this refund because of the exceptional circumstances, and I'm doing this for you against our standard policy.
Even though they stress this being a one-time exception they have done it quite a few times already.

Yeah, it's always worth emailing Amazon CS because even when you know you're not entitled to what you're asking for they sometimes give it to you. The whole Up/Monsters Inc event proves that. I've alwYs been very happy with their CS.

I'ved even gotten a 5.00 credit once when the item was in the stages of getting ship and it only went down like a buck. quite recently too. totally worth the email to amazon CS.

All four of the (uncut) Discovery Atlas series individual releases are now $9.99. That includes China, Australia, Italy and Brazil.

Note, in the complete set, which sells for what seems like nothing in comparison, these ~100 minute episodes are trimmed down to 43 or so minutes. You can read all about it in the reviews.

Triangle (Blu-Ray) has dropped down to $14.99

I'm really pissed at Amazon for Triangle. Basically, I'm punished for pre-ordering it from them seeing as how CS won't drop the price for me even though it changed on the day of release. That's a really shitty thing to do to customers, especially when they're being loyal.

Thank you for pointing out the price drop on these! I've been looking off and on for the past year or so, waiting for a good price drop. I'm finally in for all of them except Australia. I dunno, just never peaked my interest the way the others have. Kind of a strange move that they trimmed these down for the box set though.

That does seem odd. I haven't had any Amazon issues in the past when a pre-order vs day of release price changes.

Did it ship? I though the Pre-Order price guarantee was good through end of day on release date?

My "Casablanca" pre-ordered for $16.49 and shipped yesterday. The price then dropped to $14.99. I expect to get that back!

Yes it shipped. After the first CS rep denied me the refund I sent another, more pointed email. Luckily a different rep got that one and gave me the discount. The second rep claimed that I would have gotten the discount automatically, but if that's true, then why did the first rep deny me?

I got the 4 dollar price difference and I hadn't even asked for it nor did I even know that the price had changed. I received an email today saying that the price had changed (after it shipped) and that they were refunding me the difference. This is not what I would expect Amazon to do.

Personally i officially gave up on pre-ordering anything from amazon anymore, since a major amount of the time its cheaper the day it comes out or the next day. B

I really need to quit reading this thread so regularly. If I'd seen the Discovery Atlas discs in a store for $9.99 each, I probably would have glanced at them and moved on. Here, I look up the reviews, think 'wow, those sound like pretty cool shows for such a low price' and buy them. It's weird, but it seems I'm more of an impulse buyer when the physical goods aren't actually in front of me.

Glad you got it back....got my $1.50 back today, too! :)

The dark crystal went back down to $12.99. For those without prime trial it goes well with Labyrinth for $12.99 also.
