ZipZoomFly selling Hitachi 1TB HD for $89.99 AR

So two months ago, I thought I missed a great deal (which turned out to be a pricing error) from Dell -- a 1TB hard drive starting at $109.99. Lo and behold, ZipZoomFly is offering a even better one -- $89.99 1TB Hitachi HD after $30 mail-in-rebate (originally $119.99)!

Well... not exactly $89.99. Californians such as myself have to pay sales tax off the original price (for me in the East Bay: 8.75% x $119.99 = $10.50) and shipping which starts at $7. To sum it up, I paid exactly $107.77 after $30 mail-in-rebate which isn't shabby at all considering how these metallic stacks of platter cost around $400 one year ago when they first entered the market!

So yes, I bit on this deal mainly because my current drive space situation is in the red zone -- < 100 GB of free space left and at the rate I'm downloading TV Series episodes and rendering HD videos, it'll be used up quite soon!

But nevertheless, I do have a really keen feeling -- one that I'll be willing to bet $20 and a t-shirt on -- that the price will be below the $100 mark (let's say $89.99?) by year's end without the need for any rebates! So for those that can wait, you may be rewarded -- but at least I won't have to worry about getting trampled over during those Black/Blue/Brown/Pink Friday stampedes!
