But the current price does mean that a couple of other people are getting this for a present. Huzzah!

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, video game, or software item, the price we charge when we ship it to you will be the lowest price offered by Amazon.com between the time you place your order and the release date. The order summary in Your Account will reflect the lowest price within 24 hours of the price change.
Please note that our Pre-Order Price Guarantee applies only to items sold by Amazon.com, and not to items (or prices) offered by other sellers on our site.
If your order enters the shipping process before the release date and the price is lowered on the release date, we will automatically refund your credit card for the difference between the price you were charged and the release-date price. If you did not use a credit card to pay for your order, please contact customer service through the Contact Us box on the right side of any Help page.
So, it's actually even better than what Saje said -- if the price for whatever reason jumped to $100 per DVD, you'd still only have to pay $9.99, if I'm reading that correctly.
Also worth noting is the Secret 30-day Price Guarantee.

Just went to order more DVDs but they want to charge me $8.00 per DVD, which is ridiculous. The Write Environment interview with Joss cost less that $2.00 to mail. Harumph.
Heh, Cdns moan in unison!

Now with this special price, international shipping and handling is almost as much as the DVD itself ... (actually, it's two thirds of it.)

I got the same delivery period, but it usually takes a lot less time to ship.
More like a week or maybe two. Christmas isn't helping, though, but it should be delivered in early January, I guess (and hope).

Also: TamaraC - thank you for the welcome tip on the Paleyfest DVD! I would really like to get it, and was afraid that I'd missed my shot. Much relieved to hear otherwise!

If they do, the maker still gets a percentage calculated based upon their original retail price, so when the seller drops the price, the maker still gets what they expected to get.
Within that process, I'm not clear on whether the drop in Amazon price is a person's decision, or indeed as you suggest an automatic artifact of sales volume.
(This all continues to be speculation based upon various people reading how CreateSpace/On-Demand Publishing/Amazon appears to function.)

Obviously it's possible they worked out a special deal since their disc is going to sell A LOT more than the average createspace disc... but going with the prices listed for CreateSpace... Amazon pockets $4.95 per disc plus 45% of the list price per disc for each sale at amazon's site.
So for a disc like Dr. Horrible with a list price of $14.99, amazon would keep $4.95 plus $6.75 per disc, for a total Amazon share of $11.70 (which might explain why with sufficient volume they're able to offer the disc at 9.99 and still make money). Therefore, $14.99 - $11.70 = Mutant Enemy's share would be $3.29 per disc.
This seemed low to me, but then again, what was the amount writers got per dvd under the studio deals? .04 cents per disc? I suppose that $3.29 (still theoretical because I think they very possibly have gotten themselves a special deal) includes more than $0.04 for the writers...
Does my math sound right? ( at least according to the math at https://www.createspace.com/Products/DVDPrices.jsp )
Sorry if someone already thought this through, I didn't see it written this way in any of the threads yet :)
