In a new report from VC, we're learning that ASUS has suggested retail pricing but "retailers may impose their own margins", adding that "typically, this isn't an issue immediately at launch but becomes one shortly after. This is because many board partners work directly with large retailers, who are politely asked not to sell cards at higher prices. However, these agreements usually don't last long".
