Quote:Tom Petersen had this to say on the HotHardware webcast: "The partners are basically going to hit the entire price point range between our entry level price, which will be $499, up to whatever they feel is the appropriate price for the value that they're delivering. (...) In my mind, really the question is saying 'am i gonna ever see those entry prices?' And the truth is: yes, you will see those entry prices. And it's really just a question of how are the partners approaching the market. Typically when we launch there is more demand than supply and that tends to increase the at-launch supply price."
Of course, there were some mitigating words left for last: "But we are working really hard to drive that down so that there is supply at the entry point. We're building a ton of parts and it's the natural behaviour of the market," Tom Petersen continued. "So it could be just the demand/supply equation working its way into retail pricing - but maybe there's more to it than that."
