Re: VM TV Pricing Policy - Quite cunning, really

Size M: £37.00
Size L: £42.50
Size XL: £44.00
Now the interesting thing is the £1.50 difference between L & XL. This is small enough for your average user to say to himself, "Hmm, not much extra, might as well go for XL." Of course, with enough people this is going to make a tidy extra profit for VM.
What I can't think of is a simple explanation for is the £5.50 difference between M and L, which is much more off-putting. Anyone care to hazard a guess at Virgin's reasoning?

But the package prices are much more attractive.
