Yeah, especially with Obama trying to pass bills to make invisible money be put to use.

Anyhow, back onto the topic, the world economy is being driven down, but you know, it happens, it's inevitable.

I bet most retailers will ignore it. Just like most retailers have already started cutting the PS3 price because Sony wont drop it. Retailers make less money this way but at least they move the stock.
