Keep in mind that the price has technicially already dropped twice© Some companies will keep the price the same, while adding more, thus equivelent to a price drop per say© Empeg has done this twice:

Mark 1 - > Mark 2© If i remember right, the Mark 1 4gb is about the same price of the Mark 2 6gb© Plus all the extra new features on the Mark 2© While some of the discount was offset by the external tuner, you are still getting more for your money©

Mark 2 28gb -> 20gb and 36-> 40© Here, you get more music space for less money© And assumng 16©6 hours of music per gig, thats a nice jump for no price increase©

I'm sure down the road a year or so, the high end empeg products will still sit about the same prices as now, but offer so much more©
