Lol, I knew there would be loads of "I got scammed at higher price" etc etc posts.

Guys, it is an electronic item--THEY ALL GET CHEAPER! Those who buy first, are ALWAYS paying for some R&D.

"Ima sue Samsung!! When I bought my 32" LCD TV it was $1000. Now they are $250!!!!" "They scammed me!!"

Like seriously, you bought first, you pay more. Just like almost EVERY other product ever made.

The difference is that you extract qualia from owning a larger TV over that time. You don't get any qualia from Block Erupters, you only get bitcoin, and there is no way that the frist sold block erupters made 1.01 bitcoins in the time that this price drop occurred. Someone else mentioned dropping the price by .1 btc every week, but these don't even produce .1 btc/week so this would very quickly show the problems with their pricing.

I am going to warn everyone here, as I have before

Unless this is purely for novelty, do not buy these for profitability until they come close to $60 / GHps. Even that might be too high, but then you'll have a chance at profitability.

Refer to this site for a bigger picture on ASIC miner comparisons.

I'm going to buy them and exchange the BTC for Litecoins, which currently cost waaaay more power to generate in comparison. So I really don't feel bad. I will keep them running until they can no longer profit.
