text: i wanna buy a new external hard disk for my computer, is it gonna be cheaper now or should i wait after xmas? or what time is the best? i can wait, i'm not in a hurry...but i need to know if prices gonna drop or not after xmas...thank you it sorta depends on how many get sold.  if they nearl sell out they won't go on sale, but if they don't sell so good the price will come down.  keep an eye on the daily specials at newegg, they have good prices and are good to deal with.
