I received a cancellation email as well. However, I just checked my account and my order shows shipped w/tracking number.

You know the price isn’t that bad when you consider the cost of a second-hand film print costing around £1500. There are still some shops around the UK selling it at retail price which is a little too much when the price should have dropped.

Supply and demand is what it’s all about.

And if you thought the DVD was costly the THX laserdisc import from Japan cost me around £130.00 pounds 6 ½ years ago, now then, and that is the original theatrical version first film to support Dolby digital-EX encoding LOL, EX is just a new word for (extension surround) and will work with just about any film with (split-surrounds) in fact any matrix decoder. The DVD was a bonus with the extra pod race footage.

Earlier today, I received a cancellation email.
Just now, I received a "Your order has shipped" email.
Mixed signals, eh. I guess I'll have to wait to see if it arrives, and if Amazon charges me extra.

Yeah, mine shipped too.

What now?

What does the lookup on the tracking number say? If this is the only thing you ordered, it should be on the way. Tracking number is out of Amazon's hands.

Yup

they canceled my order for star wars but the others are still going.

I'm not sure why it astounds me that Amazon screwed up this badly again after the B1G1 free fiasco, but I sure as hell stayed away from this after going through that nonsense. Good luck to those brave enough to give this a shot, I have no idea what Amazon's reasoning for charging a different price for these DVDs could possibly be.

Got cancellation notice-Here is what I am thinking..I ordered other stuff with it to get free shipping. I think Amazon intentionally prices things ridiculously low from time to time to test what happens and to make sales from people like me who just go ahead with rest of order. The other stuff I would have bought sooner or later but not neccessarily with Amazon. it is kinda like a "loss leader" sale to bring in people to your store but you don't have to honor the sale like at a Brick and Mortar",you just say"sorry price mistake"your order is cancelled" but we know a lot of you will keep the other order going muahahahahahaha..I definitely sense something sinister...

I'm thinking it's some sort of test as well. They want to know who watches their prices. And where the clicks come from...

It arrived today, exactly what I ordered.

Got mine in the mail today with a receipt saying $2.99! Thanks Amazon!

they canceled all my orders

i would of thought this thread would have had at least 500 outraged posts by now!

Wait for a couple of weeks when the ones that recieve it get charged on their credit cards with full retail price of the dvd.

Me, too, but I don't really care. I didn't really want any of these titles. I jumped in for the bargain, but I'd rather have canceled orders than get charged later. Amazon has done it in the past, so I pretty much expect it this time. Good luck to you all, but I'd keep watching your credit cards if I were you...

I lost track of that thread last year. Did they really go back and charge all those people a higher price after they had shipped the DVDs?

Yep. They even tried to go around some credit card disputes that they lost. IIRC, they shut down quite a few accounts too.

That movie (TPM) is not worth more than one cent.

Kind of late to the party for a threadcrap.

Yep, I was fully charged for every item that I purchased in this sale. There is no free ride on Amazon.

hey when you gotta go, you gotta go!

somehow, the only people that were charged were people who purchased one to say five orders. people like nightfalls (who ordered hundreds, not exaggerating) amazon did not touched at all. makes no sense.
