Maybe I'm not affected by this new policy because my preorder is on the older side, but my pre-order for Cap Lives Omnibus placed on 12/15/10 keeps dropping when Amazon drops its pre-order price (which, incidentally, is currently $35.67, 45% off of the original $65 msrp where others have reported that the msrp has risen to $75). One time the pre-order price on the book's page was a little higher than what was on my order page, but within 24 hours it was reduced on my pre-order. My pre-order page currently reflects the most up to date price. My experience has been as described in the Amazon Pre Order Price Guarantee: http://www.amazon.com/gp/...ails/popup/AWT354OR7BM1U

Pre-order Price Guarantee

Amazon.com's price for not-yet-released items sometimes changes between the time the item is listed for sale and the time it is released and shipped. Whenever you pre-order a book, CD, video, DVD, software, or video game, the price we charge when we ship it to you will be the lowest price offered by Amazon.com between the time you placed your order and the end of the day of the release date. A pre-order price guarantee message will appear on your Order Summary during the checkout process. If you use 1-Click ordering, pre-order price protection will be automatically applied. The order summary in Your Account will reflect the lowest price within 24 hours of the price change.


(emphasis added).

However, I do not believe this book has gone UP in price at all and I do not know if the price would increase in my pre-order only to be reduced upon completion of the sale - which would result in the same issues that Medieval Guy was describing.
