Merom waiters will probably go "Meh" when it is just a chip swap with no new graphics chip/hdd panel/1gb standard ram/magnetic latches/one more thing and come back to take advantage of this great offer after they figure that 64 bit is just not worth 500 bucks.

Hate to burst your bubble, but that MacBook Pro has been on sale in the online store for about four months now (and was about $3059 for two of those months).
