The prices started dropping in many different shops right around the same time as the announcement came out (17 October). I know this because I purchased an N800 two days before all the prices started freefalling, and I had to endure a great deal of hassle while I returned my first N800 unopened (they refused to lower their price to match the other stores) and re-order it from another shop.

If the prices started dropping before the announcement, they started dropping very shortly before the announcement, as in days before.

Yes. One can hope! And HOPE I WILL!
