Contracts are not always a rip off, depending on how much you intend to use the phone.
If you want to make a lot of calls, get the latest phones or do a lot of data transfer, contracts are a *lot* cheaper.
As for the wide range of prices, that's the advantage of capitalism. Choice and competition. Take advantage of it. Remember, the phone's retail cost is a *lot* higher than what you pay (especially on some contracts).
