anyone know much about price drops?

[uhcm-9]

alright, so i got the money together for a 9500 pro. i can't find it for much cheaper than 160ish dollars, so i was wondering if any of you knew of any impending price drops? i could just buy the thing now if the amount of money saved won't be worth it, but i feel like a ******* paying full price for it with the nvidia FX here and the radeon 92/6/800 on the way...

As soon as the FX cards and the R350's get here the prices will start to fall. That's about the only way to tell because they don't announce price drops like the CPU makers do.

if you want a 9500 pro get one now. they are popular cards and more than likely are going to be GONE before the price drops much further. many online retaliers allreaddy no longer have built by ATI 9500 pro cards. and with many reviews saying that the 9500 pro is basically still superior to the upcoming 9600 pro the current 9500 pro's are getting snatched up before they disappear.
