Yes, there is some price increase. But there is one more thing to remember about the prices. Robert mentioned earlier that there would be some problem with the online store versus the discounters. The large retailers don't want to carry the unit if it is available for the same/cheaper price on the Astak web site. Therefore, the price on the web site will need to be a bit higher to allow the retailers room to sell it lower.
Robert said that if you want it immediately, you can get it at launch via the web site; albiet with a slightly higher price. If you can wait, then you can pick it up at retail for a lower price.
I'm not clear which price is which, but some of the things I have read have either said or implied (I'm not sure what I read where) that it was a price on the web site.
