Yup. There's tons of vapourware at every computer show, including CES.

That is very expensive for a console. I'd also be very surprised if it was that low. An AMD XP 3200+ alone is ~$200, even if bought it multiple quantities.

As with all technology, the older the tech, the cheaper it gets, until it gets phased out. Sure, if the Phantom comes out, it'll be $100 in maybe 3 years.
