The Surface Pro 2 price has finally be cut in the US. It was done earlier in the UK already.

The price cut is fairly modest, only $100 off on the 64 and 128GB models. And $200 off the 256GB and 512GB models.

Oddly I still don't see the Surface Pro 2 on the Microsoft Store website (without that direct link). It's not under Tablets or Surface. Seems strange that Microsoft has hidden the Surface Pro 2 despite still running national advertisements for it on TV and now cutting it's price.

SP2 owners probably feel relieved that Microsoft didn't drastically cut the price like the did with the SP1, so their resale value didn't sink like the SP1 did. Though I wasn't expecting anything that severe this time since the SP2 isn't as flawed as the SP1 was. But I was still thought at least $200 off on the 64/128GB models was due.

Good move, I wonder how much SP1/2 stock they have left in stores, I have a SP1. Though I need to exchange it, yellow line on the right hand side of the screen. Maybe I'll just wait and they'll give me a new model xP

Good news for some great hardware. They REALLY need to fix the software though. I really wanted to like the interface, but in the end it was just far too clunky, what with the desktop and tablet modes, and severe app store app shortage.

I tried using a Lumia 1520, Surface Pro 2, and regular Surface 2 (RT) and I just couldn't deal with the shortcomings.
