Priced at $60 for the 4GB variant, and $80 for its 8GB sibling (plus your local taxes), virtually every aspect of the platform has been upgraded, delivering a no-compromises user experience.

Ehhhhhh, that's pushing it. Didn't the v4 and v3 cost in the $30-$40 range?

    Yeah, they didn't even try to come close to the $35 price point. That was always RPi's big selling point. I know COVID screwed that up but I was hoping it was a temporary thing, instead it seems they've used it as an excuse to raise prices permanently. Really stifles any excitement I had for the Pi 5 as RPi's biggest advantage over the competition has traditionally been their low entry price. The base model is almost double the $35 point and we all know it's getting scalped. Good luck getting a Pi 5 for a reasonable price.
