Amazon is continuing to match (and undercut) some of Best Buy's cheaper pre-orders:
All-Star Superman - $14.99 (Releases on February 22)

The Town (Extended Cut Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) $19.99 (new low)
Still too expensive for me.

I don't even think Amazon is doing this to be sneaky. I'd guess both those DVDs sold poorer then projected (they'd only know that after the fact the pre-orders go out and the early burst of sales are competed and calculated).

Seriously...the prices are always going to get lower. You're just paying a little extra to have it now, instead of waiting a week, a month, a year, or longer. Only buy something if the current price is less than what you would consider its intrinsic value to be and then be happy with it.

I learned this early-on in the year. IF it's a title I really want, I'll buy it on release day. It can always wait though, ALWAYS.

I was hesitant as you are, but Baby Mama was actually quite funny. It has quirky humor, if you like that sort of thing. Steve Martin's fantastic and has several laugh-out-loud scenes.

I didn't think Baby Mama was a classic or anything, but there were a few good laughs and, as Roadto mentioned, Steve Martin was hilarious. It's worth $9 IMO, especially if you want the movie cash.

RE: Tron 2 movie cash: Is there a list of participating theaters? I went to the site where you can redeem the code and I can't find any specifics. I'd love to pick up the National Treasure movies from this offer, but not if I'm stuck with unusable movie vouchers.

^ Thanks for the link!
The nearest participating theater is over 20 miles from me, so I guess I'll pass. I can't believe these passes aren't accepted at my local Cinemark.

That's only 10¢ less than the $17.09 they keep trying to get me to buy it for in my Gold Box. I can wait for lower since it seems like I just saw it in the theater not long ago for free (thanks to Regal Cinema reward points!)
EDIT: Today it's in my Gold Box for $16.14!

I was really dissapointed that Cinemark apparently doesn't take them. I was thinking about getting the Meet the Parents/Fockers blu-rays, which gets $8 off plus the movie cash but I guess I'll pass too. Like you, the closest theater that takes them is over 20 miles away.

I think its best to just get a movie when it hits a price point you are comfortable paying instead of worrying over whether it will drop again soon or take another 6 months. Seems a lot of people are fretting over a dollar or 2 (believe me, I love getting the best deal possible) but its better to grab something at a price you're comfortable with than let it go back up in hopes of it going lower. Plus, its Amazon, there is a good chance they'll refund you the difference if it goes lower within a week of you ordering anyways.
Anyways, they've taken me totally broke and I hate (love) them for it.

I bought this last month and it arrived with a broken case. The replacement copy has been on backorder for two and a half weeks. Amazon just contacted me to say there was a supply issue and they don't when they will be receiving additional copies. It's OOP status makes me wonder if they ever will.

^ Amazon is painless with returns, so I'm not going to pay for a replacement case if I can avoid it. However, that's certainly what I'll be doing if they're unable to ship another copy.
