So weird...they adjusted the price on this order for me, but on the first email I sent, they said that the email was inadvertently sent and that the Blu-Ray deal they were referring to isn't on the site yet. 
At least I got one free.

An AVS member named cinemasquid has a website that tracks all of the price changes at Amazon for blu-rays.
http://www.cinemasquid.com/PriceAdjustments.aspx
It makes tracking the increases and decreases easy and he also has captures from about 60+ movies on the site.

Great deal on the Sony. But I learned my lesson last year. I jumped on a $199 HD-DVD player last September, only to find them much cheaper come Black Friday. I expect the same to happen this year. Although I own over 125 HD-DVD's, I'll get a BR player for $150 or less...

How about this:
SONY BDP-S300 Blu-Ray Player for $125 when you purchase 3 movies and PS3 remote + Free Super Saver Shipping
http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthr...light=bdp-s300
Old player, but a cheap way to get started in Blu-Ray.

Same situation as you, the order was placed prior to 09/01 and they did honor the old price guarantee. So I got my $5.00 back.

My refund request of $4.96 for Nightmare was approved today. Their email stated, "Only orders placed before September 1, 2008 are eligible for a price difference refund under the Post-Order Price Guarantee policy. As of September 1, 2008 we are no longer offering discounts if prices change on our website after you make a purchase."

Drexl is correct. These are the same prices that Amazon had a week ago when they were running the same B2G1 sale (well at least after they adjusted the MSRPs and lowered some of the prices). The only title on that list that went up from last week was Predator, which seemed to have an incorrect MSRP before.
Don't go hating on Amazon for made up reasons. If you're going to hate on Amazon, at least do it for real reasons.

Amazon had Predator listed with a $19.98 MSRP, which by all accounts was an error. I don't see any other e-tailers with that MSRP, so that low price by Amazon seems like an error. You'll see that Predator is back up to "normal" Fox MSRP.
As to the other prices, I don't follow Amazon every day. So I can't say what happened this weekend. But I know I was looking at this exact same sale last week. And these prices are all pretty much the same. All the $39.99 MSRP titles sold for $27.95. All the $34.98 MSRP titles sold for $23.95. All the $29.98 MSRP titles were either $20.95 or $19.95, I can't remember. Since they're $19.95 now, the price didn't go up. Unless Amazon dropped their prices on all these titles for a weekend, they didn't raise anything. And even if they did, these are the same prices they normally have and I'm reasonably certain they're no higher than they were last week during the same sale. Either your memory is off or Amazon returned to "normal" pricing after last weekend's weirdness.

Rgeardless, good deal. This spells good news for other Fox titles like Mr, Myself and Irene, ID4, Amityville and Carrie! I pre-ordered Young Frankenstein from Amazon...one of my first Fox titles in a long, long time.

You'll notice on September 15, they dropped the price on almost all the titles part of the Buy 2, Get 1 sale. And this was during the sale! The point of the post was that Amazon's not trying to rip people off, they just do weird pricing, and sometimes that pricing overlaps a sale.
