Updated policy:
Funny enough I ran into this last week. Got stonewalled by a rep on an adjustment request and got the same canned response about post-purchase adjustments not being offered except on TVs. If the rep had said the policy recently changed I would have been less confused.

TechCrunch reports that Amazon quietly changed its price protection policy to exclude all products except for televisions.
Previously, the company’s policy allowed customers to request a refund if the price of a purchase dropped within seven days.
Updated policy:

Amazon.com will price match eligible purchases of televisions with select other retailers. For all other items, Amazon.com doesn't offer price matching.
