I also remember the infamous Killzone2 trailer shown at the 2005 E3 show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N35v7_zvfxw Turns out though that the gameplay wasn't far off that trailer actually.
This article talks about the price hike on a hardware dependant peripherals like it's something new. This has been going on for years in the electronics business - cameras, printers, computers, mobile phones - the list goes on.
