The point is that the people paying big money for this chip now will only end up getting screwed down the line.

I don't understand how they can end up getting screwed down the line. If they wanted to pay that much and they are happy with it, then who cares. Ok, so you and I and a bunch others are willing to wait for the price to come down. Hopefully it will. We're all adults and can choose how, when and how much we are willing to spend for an item. If they want to spend thier money, I say go for it and enjoy what you purchased. Isn't that why we buy these objects?

I know I have a few items in my collection that I paid too much for. Do I regret it. Maybe a little... but, not really. If I want something bad enough and know that it is worth it to me, then I wouldn't care what other people thought.
