Spoiled by 2008 memory prices?

Damm... I am thinking about building a new system and looking at memory prices I miss the old days when in 2008, you could snag a 4GB (2x2GB kit) for $30 AR at Frys.

Nowadays it seems like memory prices are just not on sale anymore... anyone knows what happened? - I just don't see why they no longer offer such great deals on memory like they used to. :confused:
 
In late 2008 early 2009 memory manufacturers were selling chips at below cost because world demand dropped (global recession) and they had a large excess of supply. Since then they cut production and demand has picked up. Also there has been a shift from DDR2 to DDR3.
 
If only those of us that didn't know would have known. I would have bought as many $90 6GB kits as I could have gotten my hands on. :D
