Well, I was going to make the jump to Macs in January to see if any new upgrades would become available to the Mac Pro, but my computer is slowly dying on me. What might I miss out on if purchase a Mac Pro now instead of waiting for the new year? I might be able to manage for a little bit. I just don't want to buy a Mac Pro now and have a cool upgrade in January that I can't get. like the some users and the 8800GT card.
Got a tip for us?

Erm, if you can wait it out then might be worth it
If you do need one now go for it!
Still amazing machines..

If you have to buy a new computer before MacWorld 2009, it's not the end of the world to purchase the current Mac Pros. They are still good machines and will still be good machines after a refresh.

Searching helps.
Of course, it was 518 days until this update, so it could be WWDC 2009 before we see updates.

To answer your question concerning the updates that we might see, I guess just about anything is possible. A blu-ray ROM is possible and maybe a SSD option. This is purely speclation though.

SSD is really given, as are SATA ODD plugs.
