Let me put it this way, even if that $99 price is honored, they will still make a decent profit...
Amazon could give you free 2-day shipping and still make a worthwhile profit...

I have one pre-ordered through Amazon for $99 too... they have not adjusted the price (pre-ordered September 2006!). Of course, I've got one pre-ordered through my BB store too... even cheaper than Amazon which is nice :-)
