Listen to the video everyone. All other companies are holding there memory to see what happens with the prices
The prices did go up 10cents in the firest hour

I guess teh PS4 will be $800 afterall

Is it a coincidence that Microsoft announces today there release date?
And that they releasing it AFTER sony?
Microsoft said all along in november, why wait til the 22nd unless you had the luxury?
Especially if your competition were to go up in demonic flames

"The facility hit by fire is rumored to be one that handles packaging (placing bumped dies inside ceramic or plastic shells, and labeling them). If the extant of damage to the facility is high, it might affect NAND flash prices more than DRAM, since the company recently prioritized NAND flash over DRAM for the facility."

We still good. And Sony has 2 other cats they source from apparently (Samsung and some cats called Npida).
