When would SSDs go on sale on Amazon during the Black Friday sales? The entire week, or on specific days only. I have a 120GB OCZ Vertex 2 sitting in my cart waiting to be ordered

Want to compare prices with the IT show before clicking

 

[wilflare]

prices on Amazon are definitely lower even at IT show (my view)

 

[twosix]

Deals will be announced the day before Black Friday, so be prepared for it!

 

[fzhfzh]

seen the black friday deal on amazon, doesn't seem to be very attractive.

Wahahaha! At last the local shops are waking up.
I'd like to think that we have something to do with the price drops.

But it just proves how much markup the distis have, if they can drop price from $500+ to $300+ in 1 month.

 

[angcsbenny]

not the local shop but the distributors... blood suckers haha

 

[fzhfzh]

want to hoot another 120gb intel G2... but G3 coming soon...

Which SSD price drop from $500+ to $300+ in one month?

OCZ Vertex 2 120Gb.
During mid October, it was $529. Now it's $388.

I still got the downloaded pricelist somewhere in my comp.

haha, very very much faster!
540Mb/s red, 490Mb/s write. Almost double the speed.

Anyway, only this Newegg deal is $300+. This normally retails for $500+ or more.

 

[win_man]

Local shops price as closing in..

Vertex 2 60GB 228
Vertex 2 120GB 388

where selling the 60GB? or all will follow this price range?

Local shops don't earn as much as Distros. Only Distro can set SRP price drop $200 within 1 month. Don't know why some stupid ppl say local Distro overheads high must let them earn abit. They're eating abalones & sharkfins everyday you also donno.

But which shop selling $388? SLS avg price is $400 leh
