"The IREX DR800SG with a leather cover will be available in October at select Best Buy locations. The device has an MSRP of $399.99."

I was curious if the exchange rates accounted for the difference, but the difference between the rate on 23rd Sep when iRex issued the press release and the rate on 21st Oct. when the DR800SG appeared on Best Buy is less than $5. So I think this is either an error, or Best Buy are simply taking advantage of the fact that you can't buy the DR800SG anywhere else.
