I do not understand why people feel so entitled to get a deal on every single product they wish/want/would like to purchase. I consider myself to be an early adopter/early majority and I do not mind paying [close to] full price; and I do understand not everyone is wired the same way. However, waiting for 8 months to save $50 on a product is 20 cents a day. What are some other ways of saving 20 cents a day? Think coffee/bar/restaurant tips, or the change that you leave behind here and there. At that point, knowing the Apple product cycle, you'd be about four months away from a new product release. Then you will complain about how you just dropped so much money on a "new to you" product and criticize Apple for releasing a new product - it's just an endless cycle that we get to see here on a daily basis.
