I just find Powertap to be generally unprofitable products that are being given away to the "cool kids" to create a perception of value that is higher than is justified.
I got what you were saying... like years ago when Rudy Project GAVE away helmets at Kona and I think in the following years sold them at greatly reduced prices. They then ran ads about being the "top helmet at Kona"... after they'd stuffed the box so to speak. So I wonder if Saris will be doing similar... but yeah I got where you were coming from.
As a consumer (with three in college) I'm all for companies selling at greatly discounted prices or giving stuff away at large events like Kona. Congrats to those that got product at 50% off.
Honestly, I am feeling pretty vindicated considering how this thread turned out. :)
