They also have the interesting per unit price which significantly increases with quantity starting with qty 2. My friend bought one, walked out of the store, walked back in and bought another. The look on the cashier's face was, shall we say, not very approving...! Kyle

well, the word is Micro Center is apparently trying to play Mr.Cop, for fear of price gouging eB@y is synonymous with price gouging if you were born under a rock, you'll always get burned by eB@y I think since their production ramped up to 50K units per month for the USA, I would hardly call this being a rare item But now it seems they need to price gouge these at the source. It's bad enough they are only one of the two licensed distributors in the USA, and now they do this. Kyle made a good point, price gougers will always find a way around this All it does it hurt the many small business shops trying to make a living so now you have to play the same game just to stay ahead I think Micro Center will only hurt their reputation Dan
Yes, my Australian determination was not appreciated. I figured it was justified though, given the travel distance involved to get another one.
