The Price is Right? You mean the price is WAY Wrong!

I'm on Christmas vacation this week and while channel surfing I stopped on The Price is Right.  The game was simple, they gave three items: a couch, a life size Santa Claus and Sleigh, and a Samsung 56 inch DLP TV and the contestant had to pick the one that was the most expensive. 

What would you have picked? 

Knowing the extravagant mark up of furniture, I would have gone for the couch.  But, no -- they claim she was right and it was the TV at a whopping $3299!!  I had to snap a picture with my IPhone as I thought no one who knows technology would believe this one:

This TV has a list price on Amazon of $1499 but sells for $1059.  How in the world did they come up with that price?  The only thing I can possible figure is this was from last Christmas??  Was the TV that much last year?  If DLP TV's have dropped 50% in a year that's amazing (not that I'd recommend a DLP TV to anyone).
