Has anybody noticed Amazon for some months has been setting SRP higher than everybody else.
example:
Justified: The Complete Third Season [Blu-ray] $75.99
every body else I've checked $65.99.

I guess it makes the discount price/percetage look better.

I can honestly say that, since it doesn't have anything to do with the actual price I pay, I don't pay much attention to the SRP on any site.  All I care about is the actual sale price.

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

It's a long standing phenomenon with electronics in german electronics stores that the SRP (UVP in Germany) is set to randomly high price so that the regular sales price looks like a bargain.

That's why I never started to care for the SRP and misuse the field in DVDP to enter my foreign currency pruchase price.

This might be true on some pre-orders, before the Media co which produces the item has fixed the SRP themselves.
