Why should impatience be rewarded at the expense of the retailer. When you pay for something, you are paying for the relative qualtiy and workmanship of an item at that point in time.
Would it be reasonable for me to buy a new car a week before the next years' models are released and return the next week to demand a $15,000 refund? Should I be able to bring my receipt for my IBM Aptiva wih a K6-2 and ask for $600 back out of the $800 I paid for it in 1997 because the components are now worth that much? Would it be unreasonable for me to take my new computer back to CompUSA (no pointing and laughing needed because I didn't build my own, my mom bought it for the family, I ddin't pay a dime for it) in a year and ask for half of the money back? We paid for a top-of-the-line system in August 2003, and that's what we got.
There's no reasonable expectation of a refund if you can't wait for the price to come down.
