A monetary amount charged for an item is not a price point, it is a price. A monetary amount charged for an item at which demand for that item remains relatively high is a price point. See also:
link Please stop using price point when you mean price. Not a very verbose rant, nor amusing, but hopefully folks will accept this "Unwelcome Education" and think a little bit before posting. Thank you for your time. |

Thank you! Quite a few folks have been displaying their lack of knowledge on this particular "point" lately. |

I think perhaps people ARE using it correctly… Especially when they talk about pricing in general as opposed to specific product announcements (in which case I agree). If there is a discussion on the price of a new product, the Price Point become very relevant.
Used as part of a pricing gripe post it makes sense. See any of the GW posts for examples… Is $99 USD the correct Price Point for Space Hulk?
Depends on their sales forecast versus actual sales.
Time will tell. |

I agree entirely. That and using the expression "story arc" when "story line" should suffice. |

Jay, you make a 'pointed' argument…

I think perhaps people ARE using it correctly… Amend the statement to " some people are using it correctly," and I will agree. Plenty of others use it incorrectly. |

Priceless. Perhaps pointless. Price-pointless? Perfect. |

OK, you've solved that issue. Now what are you going to do about middle aged men wearing their baseball caps backwards. |
