It seems people are just grabbing the 60GB-with some form of BC, before the 40GB model becomes the standard. |
Now that is a backhanded marketing strategy. Introduce a cheap model and threaten to discontinue the expensive one with more features, and people respond by buying the more expensive model.
I can't decide whether those 60GB buyers are clever for knowing what they want and grabbing it while they can, of foolish for being manipulated into purchasing a 60GB like that.
