You got lucky. Current Amazon policy is if your item has already shipped they won't give you a discount if the price drops later. If you email cs about a price adjustment, they'll send you a reply that looks something like "the price you payed was the cheapest we could offer at the time... sorry". Even if you try to argue "I can still return and re-buy it" they'll reply "ok, fill out the return form". You may get lucky and get a cs rep that will price adjust for you, but the last few times I've tried I was shot down every time. And if you return an item because of a price adjustment you have to pay for your own shipping (not a big deal since the price difference is $70 here, but it's kept me from returning when the price difference was a few bucks).
