Agreed, they are still too expensive.

I said help, the shift is inevitable, but this could potentially shave some months off.

Agree with you there. Once I can buy a 320GB+ SSD for about £60 I'll be happy, but for now... ouch

You're lucky to get a 60GB for £60 atm, so it'll be a good few years before 320GB for £60 ;)

That's my point.

Paid £130 for 120GB one, can't complain.

Especially as OCZ have released firmware for the sandforce problems.

Can very much complain... you paid £1.08 per GB on that SSD, I paid £0.04 per GB on my 1TB drive. The speed of an SSD doesn't justify a price increase like that in my opinion :P

That's clearly coming from someone who's never used a SSD as a boot drive ;).

I will never have a desktop PC that doesn't have one again (until there's something better of course).

I doubt they will go up a lot.
