price plummeting

[jamesannan]

Just looked up the prices on www.kakaku.com and it seems like the SL-C3000 can now be found for well under Y70,000 - the lower line on this graph is the best price on the system, the upper line is the mid-price (of the 29 shops providing a quote). Most of the large chains seem to be still holding to the higher prices.

860 is drifting down, but only slowly to Y46,000.

Had a quick play with a 3000 today, the keyboard seems good. Might have to pop in to Akihabara some time soon!

I went with what the others have said, wait until the prices have dropped.

I've played with it.  Mildly impressed, mainly because I couldn't really navigate my way around the Japanese OS.  Looked good, felt slightly heavy.  Screen was good, not excellent like what everyone has been raving about (maybe the resolution which was very nice).

I'd still buy it when the prices go under 70,000 yen at the local Yamada Denki.
