I think the point is to wait for the price to saturate b4 buying, not wait for the next big thing to buy.

You could have bought a dvd burner for $350 when it first came out or u can buy it 2 years later when it's $50-$70.

You could have bought a wireless router w/ pc card for $200 when it first came out or you can wait 1 year later when 802.11b was almost free after rebate.

I will buy HD-DVD when it became mainstream and price has been saturated.
