That's true, however, for a few months before the 229 price came out, it was was told by Robert that the price would most likely fall between 199 and 209, with 199 being the most likely. This is what everyone was expecting, even Sony.
So it could very well be assumed that Sony simply matched the price that was expected, in which case Astak dropped their price temporarily to match it for preorders and first-comers.
