I think you are looking a little too short term. The price of every SqueezeBox has come out at about the same price. Over time, the price is cut, and typically there is a price cut to clear out stock before the next cooler one comes out. The SB1/G came out at the same price as the SB1, with cool new features. The SB2 came out at the same price as the SB1 and SB1/G with tons of cool new features. The SB3 looks like a real piece of stereo and has come minor new features at the same price as the SB1, SB1/G and SB2. This is exactly what most of the electronics vendors do. Intel and AMD are the most obvious examples, Their top product always costs $1000, and over a few years, it costs $50, as several generations of cooler faster things are released. I personally don't prefer the SB3 over the SB2. My main SqueezeBox is behind a glass door and you can't see anything but the display. But the space in my cabinet is limited. Being taller is bad for me. I'm looking for a Low Rider SqueezeBox before I buy another. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
