Thank you, that is what I thought. I myself have never been disappointed by pre-orders. Granted I only tried Amazon so far and will continue to do so from your experience with buy.com.
Today I looked in my wishlist, and an item that I put in for $174 said it is now $104, and that I put it on the list for the much higher price. It made the difference of justifying it at a later time or ordering it immediately today at the lower price. Have to remember to check my wishlist at Amazon more often.
Very useful to let me know about the price difference - even though I remembered because I was looking for that item specifically (complete Smallville boxed dvd set).
