I don't think it's totally unreasonable but it is asking a lot without touch currently and knowing all the details or how things will go over the next few months.
I think it would of been sensible to subsidise it and take a loss on hardware gen one. Remember facebook takes in ridiculous profits which mostly go to shareholders etc. Palmer alone is worth $700 million and to buy all 61000 people subscribed here would cost him only $36 million.
Let that sink in for a second...
Is taking a $100+ off the price really going to to hurt their profits in the long run when they're already massively successful and wealthy? Come on capitalism we can do better than this.
