    I have not seen such pessimistic future prediction from any of major consumer electronics producers yet.

    I like how “Update” has become corporate PR's favorite weasel word for headlines bearing bad news.

    Hate how nowhere on that page does it say what the price will be. I guess they don't want the full price in the announcement...

      Go add the announced price increase to whatever price you find on BestBuy.com? I take your point, but I hardly find it onerous to figure out the new price.
