The justification is that at least some people will pay that amount for it, and Best Buy wants to make money. Once BB determines that the 800 has reached market saturation at that price point, they will cut the price a little and crow about it a lot. Eventually, they'll reach the MSRP and will ultimately put it on sale once a month for about $10 below that.

It's pretty much business 101 style tactics.
