Chris: The President’s Day sales are wrapping up with a few continuing into the weekend. The big story of the year so far remains the fast dropping prices on a wide variety of electronics and computer gear. We’ve talked a lot about the surprising drops in flash memory prices, but that has also been met by other discounts in related products. For example, the second generation flash-based Zune media players have dropped by $50 each with select retailers discounted beyond that.
Michael: The acceleration of computer improvements at a given price is also impressive. This week, for example, we featured a great desktop system package from Dell Business that included a dual core CPU, 2GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive, DVD burner, and 22-inch widescreen LCD for only $499 shipped. Notebook PCs are going through similar leaps in performance. $500 to $600 now buys an impressive system instead of one just sufficient for basic tasks.
Chris: Of course it’s also entertainment awards season now and in addition to plenty of classic Oscar winners popping up on the TV schedule, there are also fresh discounts on movies and music including Amazon’s popular half off sale on award winners on DVD.
