I just CANCELLED almost $1,000 worth of blu-ray PRE-Orders from Amazon

If it drops the day after release, then I would say SOL there.

Yes that is exactly what they did to me. I was able to get them to refund me the difference though the time it happened to me. I think the policy says (or did before at least) that if the price drops up until the end of release day you should get the release day price even if your item ships before or on release day.

I stopped ordering from amazon.com for other reasons (the bad Canadian dollar exchange rate).
