My basic point though is that if you buy pre-Christmas, there are likely to be big price drops post-Christmas... make sure the retailer will refund the difference before you buy.

This is true for some monitors which will have a model 100a (which goes to Best Buy) and 100b (which goes to Circuit City). So a store can say it's price protected but the reality is no one else sells that model.
