Not really stupid, it's Marketing 101 unfortunately. It's a classic ploy to sell a little bit of the new product in order to build up more frenzy over it. That way, once some of the customers has a taste of it, they're gonna want have their hands on it. I think Sony sold more PS2 using that tactic compared to Microsoft selling Xbox when they were first released.
I get the feeling that they're gonna raise the price of 360 next year.
