I'm so glad I haven't bought mine yet. I nearly got one 2 weeks back but then decided I wouldn't have time to set the new system up till next month so I delayed the purchase. Just saved myself a couple of hundred bucks. Normally it happens the other way round with me, I buy it then it drops in price :-)
