you have to wait until all the new units of the item sell out before the display goes on sale. this is what they told me when i tried to buy the 5mp digicam for $122 or whatever it was.

yeah, i really think this is a great deal. i would go for the whole thing (40gb HD, enclosure, card) if i had the money to put down. enclosure is all i really needed right now, so it'll do. but this is definitely a great find.

i've had this printer since the summer and i love it. best photo printer for the price, in my opinion. the chip is annoying, but you can get generic cartridges (ink is just as good) for $10 a piece at megatoners.com.
