Furthermore my strong expectation is that they were using A/B tests to collect data on the optimal price point to show everyone. I don't dispute that eventually they likely would have gotten around to correlating geography and price to be able to dynamically show the right price point, but there is absolutely no reason to doubt their assertion that they hadn't done so, or to believe that they had any near term plans to do so. (For one thing A/B tests to try to figure out that level of detail are very difficult to do.)
