Just a hours ago I made an "indirect" complain regarding pre-order price for Gladiator.

Just now their reply agreed to refund me $4 for this title.  rclxms.gif  But it is one exceptional case only.  Actually Yesterday I already know that Best Buy sold Gladiator and Braverheart together at $22.49 for each title if order together.  Today, I just make a try and seem successfully claim the the difference between $26.99 (pre-order price) and $22.99 (current price) .  thumbup.gif

Here is Amazon replied:

"Hello from Amazon.com. 

Thanks for contacting us about the recent price change on "Gladiator." I recognize you have a choice of retailers and appreciate that you prefer to order from us. Unfortunately, we do not have a post-order price guarantee.

I've reviewed your order and see that the price change is significant from the time the item shipped.

Under the circumstances, I'll make a one-time exception for you and issue a refund for the price difference in the amount of $4.00. You should see the refund in the next 2-3 business days.

Please understand that I'm issuing this refund because of the exceptional circumstances, and I'm doing this for you against our standard policy.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A PRICE GUARANTEE?While we don't always beat the best available price on every product, we do offer deep discounts on many thousands of items. From time to time, prices on some items will change due to special offers from suppliers and manufacturers or our inventory and sales volumes. When we can offer a lower price for new purchases we will, but we cannot extend these discounts to completed orders.

Thanks for shopping at Amazon.com. We look forward to your next visit."

news regarding gladiator bd
*
I took a sneak peek on the mkv version
the PQ not as bad as people complained
but i did notice that few scenes are too digitized and over-enhanced
gave me the fake impression
but I couldn't found the widely talked 'missing arrows' at the beginning part
maybe my tv is too small to notice it biggrin.gif

I will watch it once i receive the BD

Good news. Gladiator (Limited Edition Steel Book) is region free. Go grab it guys.

But please note that Universal reportedly used the same transfer as the US version (the transfer was done by Universal anyway).

which means the PQ will still be exactly the same like its US version? hmm.gif

Added on September 13, 2009, 12:14 pmTat will never happen..

Amz ships  a day b4 release date of new ttls n as first adopters, u nid to pay de premium..

I hv done sum research n normally a USD26/27 ttl will normally go down to 22/23 abt a mth after release n a bit later will go dwn to 20/21.. unless there is overstock n orders for tat ttl is really really bad - which for Transformers/Terminator franchises will never happen..

So if die die mus get new hot ttls then no choice but to pay a premium..

FWIW, other online merchants (tower does tis..) might ship new ttls as when they receive the stock(can be a wk b4 release date) n there are instances tat US adrsses can even get their new ttl fix even b4 de official release date.

Cheers

Kisah parcel yang lambat dari Amazon:

Ketam already received those parcels. They opened and select the titles among them - to be brought back to their respective hometown and watch over the long Raya holidays. They bring it back once returning back to work the following week, re-wrap it and replace it back in the parcel and re-seal it. They chop on the box with the date which is a few days earlier and then release it. You guys receive the parcels by then with the knowledge that it just arrived...  biggrin.gif  laugh.gif  tongue.gif

I suspect that as well
coz my parcel was not sealed, can open directly shocking.gif biggrin.gif
