That was long after MSP430 were widely used, that pricing was part of the launch of the "value line" G-series (And it's associated MSP430 LaunchPad eval board, which is what was priced at $4.30).

Were the LauchPads or the ST 'Discovery' line of super cheap eval boards first? Those were brilliant for getting the part in people hands.

Yeah I loved my LaunchPad. I bought like 20 and handed them out like candy at school
