Anyone know if it's just the brain and Scarlet packages that are going up in price Jan 1st or is it all seperate parts too-have ordered the body but might be january by the time I start buying the ssd,redvolts etc...
 
The answer is yes and no. Some prices are going up, some are staying put.
 
From what I know, the Side Handle is going from $950 to $1750. The Scarlet Brain + SSD + Canon mount for $9750 goes away. Brain + Canon AL mount will be $9700 and the Side SSD module is a $1500 add. Epic-X brain + TiPL mount increases from $28k to $35k.

Price of Scarlet brain is not changing. Its $9700. What is changing is that right now you get the side SSD module and Al Canon mount for $750 total. After the 1st, you would be paying the whole $1500 for the side SSD module + the cost of whatever mount you went with (I believe the Al Canon mount is $500, but I don't recall where I saw that number so it could be higher than that).

Other things that are going up include

Side handle $950 >> $1750
Red Touch 5.0 $1600 >> $1950
Redmote $550 >> $750


Which is one of the reasons I've already put in orders for each of those :p
 
EPIC-X brain is 36,500$ starting january 1st.
 
Do we know if the price of the Scarlet-X starter package will be affected by the Jan 1 changes?

Not to be too nitpicky but, in your terms, you now get the SSD module and the Al mount for $50, not $750. (To my knowledge, you can't buy the brain by itlsef.) And, it does seem to be that, however you want to argue semantics, the Scarlet price does rise after 1/1/12 since, as you correctly point out, you'll be spending an extra $2000 to get the same package.
 
My question is...if this is due to the problems in Japan, when things are sorted there, will prices decrease? Or is this permanent?

Component prices have risen worldwide sadly. It's getting more expensive in the electronic world lately. This could be due to natural disasters, global economic status, lack of demand/sales, or pretty much anything.

I would consider the price "hike" permanent for the time being. But nothing is permanent in technology. Eventually prices will normalize. But probably not for a year or so.
 
Right.

I wasn't sure if it was going to be like the temporary hard drive spike...which seems to be normalizing a bit.

It is largely due to natural disasters in the far East. There was a lot of manufacturing capacity wiped out in Japan last spring, plus the Thai floods have made things even worse. But eventually it will get rebuilt to meet demand.
 
On the plus side, at least this might highlight for some people the difference between "made in America" and "assembled in America".
 
$2950/$3750 for the Pro IO module.

Is it too early to get a spec?
