This is a pretty common practice (except for Nintendo, they make a profit on the Wii and a healthy one at that).

AJ- I didn't think my Reader was that expensive. This is a fairly new technology, so I expect to pay a premium for it right now. Relax and wait a few years.
I was thinking more about their LCD televisions, I've been shopping for an LCD for my living room and was shock of how much more the Sony cost. How can they hope to compete when their product cost so much more for the same specs. Maybe they need to lower their production cost in order to be more competitive. I went with a 40-in Samsung HDTV; and i have to say it looks great in my living room!
