Madness!? THIS...IS...oh, wait. lol. Actually, yes, I agree that they are crazy high priced. But that's to be expected of new products. The early adopters typically pay for the R&D, and the people who wait merely pay for the manufacturing, as it takes them a few months to get the bugs out and speed up the process in order to reduce costs. Like I usually say, wait at least a year and get it at a steep discount.
