    well i just got off the phone with MSI ( that was a bad experience) but i randomly tried extensions hoping to get ahold of somone.....finally after 25 minutes i was able to get ahold of somone who worked on the MSI gt628 project...and i started asking questions and he said the price point will be 100$ more than the last so for the lower end model instead of 1100 for the 216 it will be 1200 and instead of 1300 it will be 14 hundred...he wouldnt tell me the processor but he said it will be better ( im thinking P8400 and P8700) the video card will be the 160M 1gb and it will have 4gb of DDR3 ....still the same hdd 320gb sata 7200RPM...and there is an option for blueray....he said there are some structural tweaks to the laptop....no more flexing? and the screen res will be 1680 x 1050......

    If the blu-ray was really an option... 1315$ with blu-crap, imagine without.
