"We don't know what prompted the price drop, but along with a BD-J special feature, 1080p transfer and uncompressed 5.1 soundtrack when it is released December 11, we're not complaining."
What's that they say about a fool and his money?
The pricing on TV boxsets on both sides of the format is ridiculous. $99 MSRP is insane for what is essentially only 24 episodes, irregardless of what Amazon may charge in the end.
I'll wait for a used copy to show up on some forums or on eBay. Let someone else take the depreciation hit on this.

Bill; I don't really understand why you pick on the MSRP. You don't have to pay that. Most people don't. MSRP is a fairly meaningless figure.
Also, you don't have to think of it as "only" 24 episodes. That's the run time equivalent of 10 movies, and it's in HD.
"irregardless"... word of the day... lol
