Did they mention any prices?

that 256GB SSD is an awesome thing and Id love to have a couple of those in my computer. Games on one and the OS on the other. Then I could use my 250GB drive as storage :)

No prices that I've seen either. What's worse is that you can't find these available anywhere. I think the big shops are buying them up for OEM reasons at least that's my guess.
