Re: +3 was too expensive?

Amiga 500 was £499 at the time the +3 was released and had no software base. +3 was only at the higher price point for its first Christmas and then the price was reduced (advert I posted was from 1988). Common practice at Amstrad to launch with a higher price and then drop it.
From memory the A500 price didn't drop until the run up to Christmas 1989 which is when it started to gain traction.
