Are they coming out with new AC in near future?

Prices on Window AC's been dropping like crazy, or its simply supply and demand thing?

Yes, it is supply and demand. The weather is getting hot so the prices go down...

p.s. ever see a sale on umbrellas in a rain storm?

Seriously, you may have a point. With all the crappy weather we have been having, noone has seen a need to buy AC. That is beginning to change though.

Just don't let it fall out the window and land on Spunky.

Why the hell would anyone put umbrellas on SALE during a rainstorm!?

Rain = higher demand for umbrellas = RAISE prices.

Hotter weather = more demand for AC units = RAISE prices.

I think your sarcasm meter is broken. You might want to have that fixed.

The prices of low-end window AC units have recently dropped because (1) the economy is still bad and (2) Goldstar, a Korean manufacturer, changed their name to LG and market-dumped their large remaining Goldstar-branded inventory. Other manufacturers had to follow suit and cut their prices as well.
Good time to buy an AC unit right now.

edit: to be clear, LG Electronics changed their name from Goldstar several years ago (about the time they bought Zenith), they just hadn't yet gotten around to changing the brand names on their low-end AC units.

I never even had an AC in my room until last year when I bought a 5000BTW window unit. After 21 years of 100 degree weather in my room (with I never did mind much), it now stays 80-85. It can be a lot cooler but I do not like paying expensive utility bills.

Just put in a 6K BTU unit in our "office" room at home. It would get hot in there from the computers running, let alone the weather. The thing is great... remote control, on/off timer, EER 11.0, and a fan that I can feel across the room. I mostly run it at 74deg F, but on "energy saver" mode, which means it's more lik 78deg, and the fan turns off for periods of time.

Picked up 2 6000btu window units last summer for our upper flat. The electric only went up about $10/month, so I was pleased. One unit on each end keeps the whole 2 bedroom flat at about 75'.
