Re: HVX-200 NAB rumors

[Lars Wikstrom] "Hey Barry, we'll see about that. I went to buy an 8 gig when the 16's replaced the 8's price. The prices were still full price and not $500 when the old stock was begin sold off."

Oops. I crossed wires between NAB 2006 and 2007. At NAB 2007 the announcement was made, the MSRP of 8GB cards dropped from $1200 to $700 (not $550) and the 16GB cards were introduced at $900.

At NAB 2006, the 4GB cards were dropped to an MSRP of $550. So while 550 isn't 500, it has happened before that prices have been in the ballpark of $500.

I'm hoping that'll happen again. But keep in mind the 8GB cards fell from $1200 to $700; the 16GB cards are already starting out at $900 so an equivalent price drop (hopefully at NAB 2008?) would put them right at about $500 or so.
