My father was all ways a gadget freak, and he bought a TI-99. I received a number of grade school certificates because I could program BASIC & LOGO (sadly, never really went farther than that). We had the sketch pad, the expansion base, printers, voice synthesiser, just about everything. I wonder what the correction of $525 what the equivalent to that is in today money. Food for thought regarding the high price of some gadgetry.
As for the Connect Store pricing, it is indeed strange that the prices moderate so much. These are books, not a traded commodity. Maybe there *is* a link we're missing, so we should try to correlate MSNBC and SONY Connect so that we may game the system. ;-)
