Amazon Preorder Query (Contact, Final Fantasy III)

[MadMrBacon]

Now that Amazon.com is directly selling games again, is anyone aware of their preorder pricing strategy? Specifically, I was looking at the DS games:

Contact: $29.99
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...bs_1/002-3136899-6020041?ie=UTF8&s=videogames

and

Final Fantasy III: $33.99
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...bs_2/002-3136899-6020041?ie=UTF8&s=videogames

At all other online retailers I checked, Contact was 34.99 to preorder, and Final Fantasy III was 39.99 to preorder. Will Amazon maintain these prices once the games are released, or will they increase to the standard MSRP? Just poking around a bit, they had a similar deal posted for Star Fox Command. Will this be a store-wide policy of discounted preorders? Any help would be appreciated.

Based on my experience on DVD preorders, Amazon.com tends to offer a discounted price on preorders, and then raises the price around the actual release date. I suppose it's an incentive to preorder early from Amazon.com.
