    Where does it say about them dropping price for the exam. Until now they
    have not put it on the website (or I didn't find it) that the non
    practical certification is at any lower cost.
    It doesn't probably make it worthless but indeed, I agree, just another
    test.
    I am wondering even though GIAC had this practical exam, CISSP was still
    more wanted in the market. Any reason?
    GIAC will probably becaome equivalent to the Security+. I am not sure
    how they match up on content or level of knowledge required. Someone
    how's done both can probably confirm or refute my sayinf so.
    Thanks
