I agree that the hype can't last forever. This will be the last holiday where demand will out strip supply. I don't think it will be nearly as bad the last two holidays and the premium they will command will be no where near what it was. But there will still be a premium after the initial holiday rush. The systems are at lasting a couple of hours before they fly off the shelf and you don't have people lining up when shipments are coming in. The Tickle me Elmo comparison was just to show how crazy parents can be in order to make sure their kid has the "it" gift for the holiday, nothing more.
Also I've enjoyed the discussion. It's always good to see someone elses view on a subject. It's what makes a man wiser.
