How far does Microcenter PIB pricing lag the e-tailer's?

[reg_pfj]

For example, they still have a64 3500+ PIBs for ~$220, six weeks after the online price dropped. Does anyone have any insight, or better yet, insider info on when they'll mark the prices down to AMD's new x2 PIB guidelines?

I've been lusting after one particular x2 4600 since January and it's still $550. :mad:

If it's anything like the local stores around here, they won't actually drop until the remaining stock is sold, then they buy the newer stock, at a lower price.

Companies would be loosing major profit if they just went and said "oh, damn, AMD lowered it's pricing, we should do the same on the 70 chips we bought for a higher amount".
