Yes they should do a better job, not increasing the RRP of the Arcade in the UK for example would have made the sales even better.

You can get the arcade cheaper than before, even though the rrp was increased. Retailers haven't been looking at the RRP's on the arcade quite recently.

Once a blue moon you can, how about you find me a cheap Arcade, thats in stock mind you too.  They're used as loss leaders from time to time, they haven't had large chunks knocked off like the PS3 did right before the slim launch and any silly prices don't last long.

All in-stock, all under £125 with an RRP of 159.99. And sometimes you can get better deals than that, HMV, Argos, and Amazon have had them for 99quid in the past 2 months.

Cool, I had seen some £120 offers but they were out of stock now.  The simple fact is xmas 2008 the Arcade practically stayed at £99 for a month so Microsoft raised the RRP up to shaft retailers into sticking to the £130 region.  Sure there is some £99 deals occasionally but they don't last long.  Never thought to check shopto in all honesty
