But is it really a “sale”? It seems Amazon has raised the prices on those qualify for the “sale” by average of $5 or $6 from the day before the “sale”.  

Let’s assume for a movie that was listed for $12 the day before and now is $17. If you buy three of these movies before the “sale”, your total is $36 and now with the wonder of the “sale”, you paid only $34! A whopping $2 saving! 

On the other hand, let’s say the movies you want were priced $20 before the sale and now they are $25. You would have to pay $60 but now the grand total is $50! A $10 saving or a little less than $17 per movie. 

So, it looks like in order to “save” more you have to spend more to buy the higher priced ticket items. Amazon changes prices on items all the time. I for one rather want to wait for price dropped on individual movies but YMMV.

BTW, the “sale” expire on 8/21/2009
