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

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.
