Holidays? Not for black Friday this year, I know, I was watching.

Obviously when a new product comes out the old gets discounted but with Broadcom not due out for over a year... does that mean haswell prices will be static for a whole year??

Are there typically times of year or special events etc that usually are accompanied by a price drop?

Hmm maybe when AMD's new chip comes out??

I want to buy a 4570s but 200 bucks....is just crazy... every other part in the system is under 100. (the mobo may be more but I haven't got that yet... no point..)

They really DON'T drop prices very much. You just need to find a good sale. You can see that Ivy Bridge is just a tad cheaper than Haswell, but Sandy Bridge are still about the same price, and some examples like the 2500k are even more expensive.
