I was told the economy + they dropped dealers and go direct.

fantastic and really intriguing, I have to check my bank account, may be...

My first guess is mainly the economy. Or maybe they found a way to reduce production costs (made in CHINA?). Forget about China, my first guess must be right. They dropped the price, but not as much as the market (and my investments) did. To me, it means it's more expensive than it used to be...

Alas, the perils of a deflationary economy.

it depends on the currency you are holding..... if i am from Japan, the stuff in the US are at least 10% cheaper than half year ago without the price cut.

The price drop is due to world economy. We dropped the country distributors, to whom even the -50% is not enough. The formed end user price just did not match the current world economy at all, and thus we were forced to drop the prices by making the sales chain lighter.
