Well, I guess they are just learning from American companies like de beers.

damn... i'd like a 60GB variant for 70$ please and thank you, gotta be a badass bootdrive, heh.
Edit: locally available, shipping cost would just ramp up out-of-country orders...
AceD:
I was wondering why the price had gone up, i don't really bother with the news outside my own country too much -__-. Just hope it drops again before my latest HD fills up :(
vuzedome:
I do not like my situation.
With 1TB drives priced at 105 USD, it's just not happening.
Hell, external 750GB costs only 83 USD, but again it's external.
Tatsujin:
I don't want to start a new thread since some of what I want to say is related to this topic. So ... I've checked several sites I go to and the prices for HDD's sky rocketed really high. When do you guys think the prices will calm and go back to normal and how they used to be for HDD's? At the moment, I'm not interested in SSD products. If someone can predict or give a theory of when the prices of HDDs will come down so I can plan a head of time for the future. Thanks.
