Several HDTV manufacturers were found to be guilty of price fixing yet they were not selling the same things for the same price. Each HDTV is an individual thing and the manufacturers don't usually sell same exact same product.
To me, a 50" TV is a 50" TV and if the manufacturers got together and agreed to fix the price in order to increase their profits they are guilty of price fixing. A book is a book and if the publishers got together and agreed to fix prices in order to increase profits they are guilty of price fixing.
