I don't know why, but ~$300 tends to be the limit of what I'll spend on something that is a totally unnecessary toy/gadget. Not sure these will ever get to that price point, but if that's the case then I guess I'll never own them. I think a lot of people probably think like that, that tends to be the magic price point for video game consoles to get to before their user bases really take off on a mass-appeal level, and that's also about the max that subsidized cell phones usually cost. I'm no marketing expert, but there must be some research that points to that $300 price point as a magic number that a lot of electronics strive to stay under in order to sell to the mass market consumers, and not just be a niche/enthusiast item.
