FYE removed it and the promo- they probably sold way too many copies at that price.

To get the A9.com discount, simply do any websearch with the A9 box on the top left of the page at Amazon. Then cookies will remember and you'll get the 1.57% discount on subsequent orders. Don't know how long that will hold, so just do another search every once in awhile.
They may not honor the current price.
Don't worry, Amazon may increase the price later, but they will honor the current price if you order it.
Although Amazon normally has 30% off MSRP on most pre-orders, I've noticed that lately they seem to have adopted a "loss-leader" approach by aggressively pricing the really "big" titles like LOTR:ROTK:EE at 40% off MSRP. They did it with the Star Wars box, and it's still priced the same today, well after release date.
Some other 40% off pre-orders: Shrek 2, Spider-Man 2 (but not the Superbit version), Harry Potter.
Adding in the STL and A9 discounts, and combining to get free shipping and with no sales tax (for many), you are hard pressed to beat it. Especially if you're like me and use your Amazon.com VISA card for everything and earn GCs.
Just watch your orders carefully and make sure they don't drop your STL discount when it ships. Happened on two of my recent orders. They quickly corrected it by crediting me, but it's a bit of a hassle to have to track your orders so closely.

Extended at Costco
Does anyone remember Costcos in Souther California (or any costcos for that matter) carring the giftset for lord of the rings?
