Though I've already said I think the prices for the next few months are too high, here's a related oddity: the February price is currently a bit lower than January's. February is almost always a stronger sales month than January.
The main points of exception are when there's some sort of shortage situation going on that either leaves larger-than-normal demand in January (like PS3 in 2007) or short supply in February (like X360 in 2006).
