but won't this mean PC price increases along with demand?

 

will maybe they will figure it out that when they make there pc more afordiable every one wants one

i hope they jack the price up this year that way no one buys and the year after the price drops to 600 lol then i come buy and get a sweet machine lol

no body tell them he he he they dont know the more afordiable the mopre they sale

i belive this year they will be greedy he he he and none will sale year after i will score a nice pc on a reduce price lol

 

Lucky I got mine while demand was down
Still didn't feel cheap lol
all the same it's like real estate when everyone's buyin' it's gonna be a seller's market again! Simple economics - they need to study their supply and demand curves

 

most companys dont they jack it up next thing they know there hurting and cant figure out why

 

If it means more jobs (and it should), I am all for it.

"Cut-throat competition" has been going on in the industry since it began. It's not likely to go away anytime soon, so don't be too worried about PC prices, unless M$ has something in mind...
