I would agree, but then there's Apple. I avoid their stuff because of this. The price is fixed no matter where you go. There's no wiggle room from retailer to retailer, and I get the sense that Apple is telling me "If you don't wanna pay for our stuff, go somewhere else." No problem. That's what got them into trouble in the late 80's - they painted themselves into a corner, then wondered why the business world was using Microsoft and IBM.
Fix a price and give me no choice what I pay, and I will find a suitable substitute ASAP.
