16/512+PB Model on sale

[flar]

I saw plenty of sales on the old models over the holidays but I was surprised to see one of the Performance Base models on sale at a local Best Buy today (the price is also on their web site). $140 off == $2659.

I was tempted to grab one and sell my old 16/512 so I could use it to play some games on the road, but I think I'll wait for the next model with hopefully faster storage as well.

I briefly thought this might be a prelude to potentially new models, but since the model is still full price on the MS Store perhaps not...?

Various retailers frequently discount surface products by that kind of amount. Even when just launched. I've seen it happen so much that it does make you question whether microsoft are using a sales model of over price so you can be seen to offer discounts.
