Geeze some of the people in this thread. When they originally came out and said they were pricing it as a gaming platform (which it is), the takeaway (especially from Sony of all companies) should have been, razor thin margins to make up for it in software.
Now people are saying a minimum of $299 without even considering how much the BOM will be, or how much has actually been invested in R&D. The materials for this thing are probably dirt cheap, and the R&D has been going on for a long time, by a very small team. People forget that the Move is already a device that's tracked in 3D space, and that they've been invested in optics since forever. I don't think Sony's R&D for this is honestly all that high.
