Clearly shows $49.99
I didn't say I wanted you to make it one cent less. I was asking about your consistency in rounding.

Aphex, my Sony rep came in today and told me the Eye Toy would retail for $39.99. Unless there is a change, this is direct from Sony.

"The number refers to models Nokia has sold to shops and other retail outlets since the launch on October 7"
So the 400K is not the sell-through to the consumer, just the "shipped to retailer" amount which means there are probably retailers with a bunch of units just sitting in stock.

N-Gage Price Drop
http://www.evilavatar.com/modules.ph...ticle&sid=1563
Its for GameStop. So who is pissed because they had to pay the full price and less than two weeks later it already has a price cut?

Effective Friday October 24th, the N-Gage will drop to $199.99 for a limited amount of time. Not valid with any other offer. This offer is NOT valid with the Buy two games, get $100 rebate promo.

I agree it would suck to have something drop by a hundred bucks two weeks after you buy it, but anyone getting an N-Gage should have known. It won't be long till its $99 in my opinion.

Uhh, the price drop actually dosn't effect anyone who already bought one (unless they didn't buy ANY games at launch, which is doubtful). Before I was able to get the N-Gage and 2 games for $260 (the $100 rebate). Now if I were to but it, it would still be $260. How am I am? And also note the 'limited' time. It is probaly to just get some more hardware sales so there will be more games sold. I am perfectly fine with the price drop. I would be pissed if it was dropped to $100, but for the price I paid, and the games I got, AND the fact I can listen to MP3's AND the Radio AND have a cell phone, I'm conent.

This is what happens when you take a funny joke and run it into the ground. Eh, who am I kidding, it's still funny.
