cheaper sales on 01. January?

I'm planning to buy an electric dictionary in Tokyo soon, it will probably cost around 35���~.
I've heard that on the first of January there will be price drops on a variety of articles. Unfortunately the people who told me this didn't know any details.
So now I am wondering if this is true and if yes, then I'd like to now what kind of articles will be affected.
What kind of price drop can I expect in general and in particular for the dictionary?
If this more than 15%, then I may wait another month. :)

Ahh, and since I'm interested in the japanese culture, what background does this price drop have? :)

Surely you mean 35��~�@or 3.5���~ otherwise that's some expensive denshijisho.

I don't know exactly what you're planning to buy but recently I bought a Dell Axim PDA all tricked out with multiple dictionaries from this site:
www.japaneselanguagetools.comand I love it.

Just a thought.

Oop.s forget the point. Yes, I meant 3.5���~�BSorry. �O�O

About PDAs, I have a Palm PDA myself and it's got some nice software for learning Japanese and looking up words, but having used a denshi of a friend before, I've realized that this is indeed a good investment and better to handle than a PDA.

Sooooo, any infos about New Year price reductions? :)
