I think that was intentional

I'm not sure it was so much "intentional" as "intended for another field on their entry form."

42905?

oh what, oh what can that mean!?!?!??!

CompUSA messes up on the Mac OS X price every time there is an update! I'm sure its intentional by now.

Sort of a "just for tradition's sake" kind of thing?

Well since it isn't officially for sale at the stores yet (I don't mean preorder), I believe they stick the release date in for the price until it's available. Staples did this when I worked there (for software that is). For hardware, they had an outrageous price until they were allowed to sell it, then it changed to the normal price.

Worth every penny!
