Low cost million gate Spartan 3 board?

I have seen a few low cost($100-$200) fpga boards with 400k Spartan
3's, but nothing with 1million gates yet. I would think with the
supposedly low price of the Spartan 3 that such boards would have made
an appearance by now. Does anyone know if such a board exists yet.

Very nice looking product.  Just the right amount of cool stuff on it.
It looks like your company might have the same aversion to BGAs as the 
company I work for.

Oops!  Pardon me. I'm wrong.  The XS3S1000 appears to be BGA.

Just what I was looking for.

Thanks
