My bet is that they are discounting them for 90 days.
Perverse since they cannot satisfy demand, but being perverse has become something of a Devialet trait!

My first thought was some touchscreen device. Could be discounting but seems weird so early on in a product's cycle.

Actually Devialet doesn't know either. Its just after their last 3 or 4 releases they're afraid to announce it and want to wait and gauge reception after its released. Then they can say "we nailed this one!" Like last night's enchilada tapas/wine pre-release party at Dev headquarters they know whatever it is it can't be held back so make way for something average, inconvenient, frought with ambiguity that'll send the Castle D Crusaders into overtime!

90 days of intense and extraordinary emotion, how does that sound?
To me, it sounds like what normally happens after a Devialet firmware "upgrade".
