Sounds like a placeholder to me.

Back in 2000, a Toys R Us Store started advertising pre-orders for PS2s and claiming a $400 price (it may have even been $500; long time ago so I don't remember which). This all happened before Sony revealed that the actual launch price was $300.

I wouldn't regard that listing as anything factual. If the actual maker of the system doesn't declare the price, then it isn't real.

Entirely possible, then again this could be a situation where a company released information to early similar to the HP Touchpad pricedrops

Unsure of that I have head the expansion joysticks could be as much as 200 USD with the screen built into them so we will have to see.
