    What's the chances if these coming with the new firmware? I bought the 160GB retail box version from provantage but it hasn't shipped yet. They claim it comes directly from Intel and that was $460. I was hoping that had at least the latest firmware.

    Somehow I have a hard time justifying $419 for storage.

    Before newegg, I used mwave for just about ALL my purchases for years. Fast, efficient, good prices and competent. I still turn to them from time to time when Newegg price gouges.

    Newegg is a blessing (they have a warehouse in NJ, so most times my items arrive next day even with the slowest shipping) and a curse (I have to pay NJ Sales tax)......

    Mwave is in Cali, so like most times with zipzoomfly, it is a 4-5 day ship window unless I pony up for faster shipping.....
