I wonder why they don't sell them at Bestbuy or CompUSA.
The consideration of what to sell in a mega Store has Nothing to do with the value of theHardware.
It is a matter of negotiating shelves space, Pricing Brake, how the responsibility of support and RMA would be shared, visibility, etc.
Visibility means how much the Hardware Brand is willing to spend on advertising on its own to create a market so that people will "Run" to the sore and buy it.
As an example many people would go to a store and buy Linksys because Linksys seems to have better marketing than others Brands and that is the only name that None Computer Hobbyist might recognize.
The Buffalo presence in the US is not as strong as some other Brands and their prices are slightly Higher. So it is probably harder for to negotiate with Mega Store.
It happen to be that their current Line of 802.11g is better then the other.
In gegenral (not reletated to gate1975mlm) it sort of "silly" that people base their decisions on $10 to $20 differences.
One full tank of Gas (that ends up in big part wasted on aimless driving) cost almost the same as buying good Wireless.
