Well it's rumored the 930 will be about the same cost as a i7 920 when they come out. Microcenter often has the 920 for $200 in store pick-up, and even when it isn't like now at $230, it's still cheaper than everywhere else as far as I know.
Anyone know how long it took MC to reduce the price so much on the 920, and if we could expect a similar deal on the 930 at, or soon after release?

LOL at Fry's price matching. I was there today returning a Xmas present, they had things clearly posted "We will not be beat! We will match anyone's in-store price"
So I walked up to the counter in the computer department and kindly asked if they would match Microcenter's in store price. Had me talk to the manager there, and asked him, he just flat out said no and went on with his business. Then I turned back to the guy that I originally had been speaking to, and asked him, "Well what is the deal with your price matching, you just straight don't do it?"
He asked me what I was after, and I told him the i7 920. He goes to his computer, looks up the price of $289, and tells me, "That is our price". I just told him, ok I'll go to Microcenter where it's $200 and walked away.
