for feburary release? fuck that I'll just go to ebay
Exactly. The price increase doesnt add up. At current profitability, for a Feb delivery, you're looking at an equivalent price of over $5000 per unboxed ebay/amazon s9 (if it can be shipped within 7 days).
If the ebay/amazon market doesnt overreact (lol) the current prices of 3.5k to 5k are all a steal.
