So what does this price drop tell us? IMO one of three things: 1) retailers had a hard time moving them and have a lot left over or 2) they sold so well that retailers know this lower price will be an even bigger smash and/or 3) there is something MUCH bigger in the works for '07 and once that drops, these won't move at all. Yes, the sales pitch from day one was "Dec. 31st they will be GONE!" But will retailers really pull the ones that didn't sell off of their shelves? I highly doubt it...
I think the price drop is due to #1 so that they can fulfill their "promise" that they'll be gone by year's end. Otherwise they have to come up with a spin on yet another falsehood.
