You already know this, but usually with new tech they jack the prices up because they (insert company of choice) know that there is small clique of people that will pay through the nose to be the FIRST to have (insert new product/toy) on the market. Once that group has tapped out, that's when you see a huge drop in price. I never understood the need to be the first. It also gives me time to track said product and see if there are any production issues or recalls, which I can then decide it's worth purchasing.
