Buy out/ eliminate your competition, happens all the time.

Thats pretty sweet. Cant wait to see what they come up with. You would think that it would probably make the prices come down, having the two big companies merging.

HUH??

You don't buy your completion to lower prices, you buy them to eliminate lower prices/margins.

Prices could come down to compete with the Chinese companies. But only if they gain some synergies and reduce their costs. I don't expect this in the short term, though, and if anything might hold off further price reductions that both companies have been doing to compete with each other.
