Pandora to cost $500 ?

Just spotted this news over at GBATemp

The Pandora may cost $499.99 after pre-orders have ended. The "private page" discovered by a secret ninja spy reveals an order form for parts and a much more expensive Pandora system. There is no information linking to a justification for the raised cost and the page itself may just be a test page with dummy information. We are asking, is the Pandora worth $500 USD? Contribute to the discussion and let us know your thoughts.

The Pandora is a great and very powerful console but 500 Dollars may be a tad too much?

The $500 price tag is pretty much a premium to jump to the front of the line. They plan to use the extra cash to hire a few people to help assemble the units more quickly.

I don't see how they could sell the thing if the price stays permanent.
