It's just one small step above spam really.
Actually, I have to agree... most of the things I buy I already have my mind set on from seeing/hearing them before hand. Usually delete recommendation-like e-mail so I don't spend any more money than I already have and they usually have no-brainer suggestions/items I've previously acquired.
As far as being informed to new releases, I get most of that info here - like the impending release of the Rockman artbooks. Never would have bothered or found those myself on amazon because as far as music and games go, I'm pretty set on Mega Man so I'd have no reason to search any related terms.
