I'll miss you. Granted, I'll probably still be reminded of you into March, when the pre-order I just submitted for Appleseed Ex Machina is fulfilled (see also: Dragon Tiger Gate, Justice League: The New Frontier, 30 Days of Night, Crimson Tide, Gone Baby Gone, Sunshine, 3:10 to Yuma and Zodiac), but you've made many a marginal HD purchase happen. I'm just sorry you weren't applied to Before the Devil Knows You're Dead and that Star Trek: Season 2 and Beowulf aren't in the Amazon database yet.

Re: So long, Amazon 10% discount
I won't miss something that I never had. However, if they do something similar in the future.....I'm in.

Re: So long, Amazon 10% discount
Yes, the 10% discount is gone and depending on the title my purchases will definitely slow up as far as blind purchases. The studios need to adjust their MSRP down since we've just entered the third calendar year of these new formats.

Re: So long, Amazon 10% discount
After placing a final order last night I'm still seeing the 10% discount applied to orders this morning. I was under the impression it would end at midnight.

It's not applying to any orders I'd tried today.

Re: So long, Amazon 10% discount
Hmm... I was thinking maybe it was something I had cached in my browser but after launching a new one I'm still seeing it. I suppose it's possible they just haven't cleaned up all of the accounts yet. Out of curitosity, are you a Prime member?

Re: So long, Amazon 10% discount
Well, it must be a Happy New Year for me because in addition to still getting the 10% discount I just found the latest BOGO(Buy One, Get One) deal for Blu-Ray titles. I picked up Die Hard, Die Hard With a Vengeance, Kingdom of Heaven: Director's Cut, The Terminator, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Cast Away for $62.88 shipped!!!

I thought that might be the case as well but I went back and looked at my "buy 3" order, I found it was placed on November 23, 2006.

Yes, I am a prime member. Also, I was receiving the 10% off since the beginning of the promotion so maybe that's why I'm not getting it now due to the time you started to receive it?

Re: So long, Amazon 10% discount
As a PRIME member I just preordered
Across The Universe
on Blu-ray and there is no longer a discount being applied.

Re: So long, Amazon 10% discount
Did an order yesterday and still received the discount. I'm not a prime member.

Re: So long, Amazon 10% discount
I think whether you're still getting the 10% discount or not depends on when your start date in receiving that promotion. I think one of us not currently receiving the discount, probably needs to inquire from Amazon about why they stop getting that discount.

Re: So long, Amazon 10% discount
I purchased my player HD A1 in April 2006 and got the discount through the end of 2007. I thought the promotion was a "1 year of purchases" deal so when I kept getting the discount after April 2007 I thought I lucked out. I'm no longer getting the discount but I can't really complain. Amazon still has the cheapest hi-def software prices.

That is the only logical reason that I can come up with although it doesn't appear to be an exact "1 year" from the start date.

Re: So long, Amazon 10% discount
Or an HDTV. Originally it was for one year after purchase, and then it was extended through the end of 2007.
The way it was applied to the BOGO sales and Gold Box items was probably not wise on Amazon's part, but helped result in crazy discounts.

Re: So long, Amazon 10% discount
Some people have posited that the discount might stick with you until you get $500 in discounts, and then it get turned off for your account.

I guess they must have had some sort of promotion going on then to advertise the 10% deal. (For the record, I got Syriana, 12 Monkeys, and The Polar Express on HD DVD.)
