see here is where your theory falls apart.... what if they also plan on dropping the price.

hm... think about that one.

What theory? The question was if they are making profit on hardware, the answer is "no, they aren't". There's no theory here.

 

 That the price will equal what they have to pay for it

 

I though that it was near $400 last year, but the question is: how much do they sell it to retail for? I would have thought selling it at a higher cost in Europe would help that, as I would assume the product cost is very very similar to the retail cost there
