yeah pretty much. I see prices go up during xmas time for the most part(by very small amounts though). though some things DO go cheaper believe it or not. I work in retail FYI.
Ain't no prices going up in the Middle East for Xmas, so if you want anything Xlink. Holla at me and I'll send it to you for 50% lesser than the double price
Prices are roughly the same around here still so no real worries. though prices will drop greatly the day after christmas as overstock items will need to be cleared just on the seasonal and ------ seasonal stuff though.
