I ordered Meet the Parents about a week ago from Buy.com and their price was $17.99. In the meantime, I must have cleared one of their cookies as I had to again choose the "U.S" version of their website when I visited it yesterday, meaning it did not recognize me as having been there before. For whatever reason as I was looking around, I clicked on their Meet the Parents DVD link and the price came up $22.49. I then went into my account to check my order and although it had the right price on my order, I did a search on the SKU number. This came up as Meet the Parents DVD, but the price was now $18.49. I would have thought that after the Amazon debacle that these companies would stop playing games with the consumers. It is their right to charge what they want for a product, but they should stick to one price point per item.

I also have a 17.99 Meet the Parents pre-order from buy.com, though when I searched I got the 18.49 price. Probably has more to do with buy.com trying to make more money than anything. It's not like the price flucuates every minute, they probably just raised it for good. So I guess those that waited missed out on 50 cents
