People are confusing promo pricing with regular price.
You saw "news" that price is .175... This is nothing but .10 promo to those who are eligible plus .075 shipping...
Mr Arklan's post was the catalyst/source of the purported news of "overall" price reduction.. I believe the blogger used Arklan's post as his source of info and not friedcat/ASICMiner directly. Friedcat did not confirm .175 reseller price to me.
This ".175 news" was misinterpreted/confusing further because so far you've seen that certain buyers at .99 were eligible for .10 promo... However, arklan was never a seller at .99... He ran the very first group buy at the 1.99 prices.
So I have no idea if arklan knows this distinction 100%. If he does that could imply that perhaps he contacted friedcat and friedcat decided to extend promo to the very first group. However, I can not speak for arklan or friedcat on this SPECIFIC point.
Arklan is free to clarify for all. As I never got a response from him on this question.
Do not discount competitors doing hit jobs on ASICMiner because at recent prices they have pulled the rug from under certain ASIC chip manufacturers...
If they could put doubt, confusion in your mind, thus making you wait on purchasing more ASICMiner's products, they think they would get a better window of time to get higher profit margin on their products. This is just a thought that has crossed my mind. I do not have concrete proof of this however.
