Bagged myself a cheap Asus Maximus Extreme & then nearly had a heart attack when I saw the price of DDR3. Just one question, when will prices start to come down?

^^^ yeh, what he said.
I remember paying £300 for 2Gb kit of OCZ Titanium last year (ouch). RAM prices have dropped considerably & even though DDR3 is new, I'm sure production costs are not that much higher than of DDR2, but the price does not reflect that, especially here in the UK.
example:
UK price http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-107-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=923
USA price http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3495742&CatId=3361
thats a 40% + price difference
