Compare it to say computers. Fifteen years ago, when personal computers were not in every home, basically, computers were really expensive. But over time, the prices have significantly come down, because the greater demand for them prompted manufacturers to significantly increase production, lowering their costs, which was reflected in the decrease in prices for computers. I imagine something like this would work in much the same way.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
