Nikon AF-s VR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G IF-ED

I am looking to get a new telephoto zoom lense and i was looking at the Nikon AF 70-300mm lense, however the above lense is replacing it. When the lense comes out will it go down in price because nikon rrp £399 and tbh i do not want to pay that? If it does not come down i shall have to look at the af lense. As i have the D50 with standard lense would it be better to get 55-200mm or have a little gap and get 70-300mm?

Thank you

I shall be searching all over the internet to find the best price.

I really want the new one over old one but cant justify paying full price, do you think it will drop within the first month at all?
