Keith,
The 10% off at amazon of high def titles that people talk about is part of a promotion from last year where if you bought 3 high definition discs (HD DVD and/or BD) you get 10% off all of your high def disc purchases for the rest of the year, and you didn't (don't) have to be a Prime member to have taken advantage of this. This was then extended to last the entirety of this year as well. Those who didn't get in on this last year missed out. As far as I know, becoming an Amazon Prime member does not give you this deal. (If it did, then I should't I be getting an additional 10% off [20% in total]? I'm not).
It was a really nice promotion they had, and it certainly keeps all of my high def purchases with Amazon (basically, it did what they wanted it to do). But it doesn't have anything to do with being a member of Amazon Prime (unless I'm missing something about prime that I should know about). Amazon prime gets you the free 2 day shipping though, which is really great. That's why I bought into the "prime" thing last year. With only a few days before X-mas, it was nice to get my stuff in 2 days for free (and the express shipping is super cheap with prime).

Excellent explaination Sean, ... though, in my case, ... I didn't sign-up for PRIME! Apparently, the deal was, ... after I ordered my Toshiba HD-A1 and 2 HD DVDs (AUG 2006), ... I was
automatically given a
FREE 3-month* Amazon PRIME Memembership. Since my group order qualified, those 2 HD DVDs also reflected the 10% OFF on the invoice - so I assumed that the Amazon PRIME was part of the 10% OFF HD DVD deal.
*After the 3-month period was up, I officially joined Amazon PRIME membership.
Sorry, Keith, ... I forgot (yeah, gettin' old
) about all the details and stuff until Sean posted his explaination!
