No MacBook Price Drop According to Best Buy Tipster *Update*

*Update*: It turns out that we were right to be skeptical of this rumor. It turns out that the pictures here are real, the computers wouldn't show any new information about the product (in this case the MacBook) until that information is released. Essentially, this means that even if their is a price drop for the new MacBook, it won't show up in Best Buy's computer system until we already know about it.

This picture was sent in to Gizmodo by a tipster from Best Buy. If this tipster is to be believed, it shows that the the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros will not get a price drop. The colors are really just codenames. Here's the tipster's breakdown of the models:

GREEN = $1,999.99 - 15" MacBook Pro base model
PURPLE = $2,799.99 - 17" MacBook Pro base model
YELLOW = $1,499.99 - 13" MacBook top end model
BLUE = $2,499.99 - 15" MacBook Pro mid model
ORANGE = $1,299.99 - 13" MacBook mid Model
RED = $1,099.99 - 13" MacBook base model

I really doubt the truth in this tipster. This document could have easily been forged, so take this with a grain of salt.
