lol @ the marketing. It's like trying to polish a turd: no matter what you do to it, it's still a piece of shiit.

It's because they're exclusive. Have you seen how much car parts for a Porsche or a Ferrari are?

And even through the marketing BS it was still received terribly on Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823334012).
EDIT: Holy hell, look at the BigAss Enter key. It looks more BigAss then usual.
