It's common practice to raise prices back up to MSRP before beginning a new sale. All retailers do this, as promotional discounts are generally based on the MSRP listing.

I don't think I have ever seen the Xbox marketplace pull this kind of shit. 

Microsoft recently raised the price of the XO back from $349 to $399.  Shortly after that, they dropped it back to $349.

That, according to this thread, is wrong and immoral.  All price reductions, it seems, must stack.  It should have been $100 off and every XO price reduction afterwards should be based on the $299 price.  Of course, that would be ridiculous but I'm not the one outraged and I'm certainly under no illusions that I'm entitled to some kind of perpetual discounts rule.

If you don't like a sale, buy it elsewhere.  This is an offering from a private company.  The level of entitlement people exhibit sometimes leaves me amazed.
