This is why I no longer buy bleeding edge tech (like SSD). It's good, it's awesome and all -
But this kind of thing is inevitable.
You got expensive ass stuff that's half-ass. Then in a year or two a cheaper, perfected version of it emerges.

Fixed. Not only is it improved, it's (usually) cheaper (though you may have been implying that).
Kind makes it seem like everyone who buys something early just gets shafted. Doesn't seem smart to me. Then again, smarts don't factor linearly into the real world... maybe more like rand() function...

first production of items typically is almost guaranteed to be worse then later production of identical items.
Since there is recalls on items, and tweaks to fix small issues that werent worthy of a recall.
Fixed firmware on things etc.
Essentially in MOST cases the earlier in the release process you get an item the less refined it is.

There was a time that I bought stuff immediately.
Then I bought a new Athlon - and a couple months after I picked it up for about $300-400 - it literally fell in price by 50%. I was out half my money - then the CPU died within a year.
I wasn't too pleased.
