What an asshole. I do not appreciate being called a liar by an egotistical fool passing off his own misinformation as a correction. I have said nothing untrue or dishonest. Yours is one of the most angering posts I've read on HN in 4+ years.

The Revue retailed for $99 new for almost a year, since mid 2011, until stores ran out of stock. Here's the announcement direct from Logitech's VP, Digital Home Group, about the retail price drop to $99 at all stores:

Best Buy carried it at $299, $249, $129, and $99 all in new condition. The $99 price was in early 2011, raised to $129 in November 2011, and dropped back to $99 before going out of stock. You can find these price points in Google through mentions on sites like Slickdeals that tracked the price drops.

Sears carried it for $99. Newegg carried it for $99. I'm sure other stores did too. You can still buy it new for $99 from TigerDirect.

Next time you feel compelled to call someone out as a liar, be damned sure you're actually right about it.
