I guess they've gotta makeup those margins somehow - because of the several dozen people I know, and we all get HD and have HD capable TVs, I cannot think of a single person who has shelled out the $$$ for a Series3 box. Bring it down below, say... $450, and I'll plonk down the $$$. Until then, my good ol' Series2 with the non-shiny remote will do just fine, thank you very much.
The price is a little steep on the S3, I agree. I would pay $800 for it with no subscription fee, but I can't swallow $800 and then $10 a month for subscription plus the $10 a month for two cablecards my cable company is going to want.
