Correction: GeForce GTX 260 In For Yet Another Price Cut
Information from an industry source was misinterpreted by VR-Zone yesterday, which wrote in its original report that the ATI Radeon HD 4870 1 GB was going to get a price-cut from $199 down to $179. In reality, it is the GeForce GTX 260 that is expected to get the price cut, sending its price down to $179.
NVIDIA had implemented significant reductions in prices of GeForce GTX 260 accelerators as recently as today, setting its price to $199. AMD may react to this move with its own new pricing scales for the competitive Radeon HD 4870 accelerator. There is no word on when the new pricing would be implemented.

This is the route I'd also take if I were AMD, peoples budgets aren't what they used to be, and selling at a lower price point may actually generate a better profit through more sales.
:D
This is like a playground fight! Awesome!
I can't wait until all these price cuts are shown on Newegg.

bastards should have announced it sooner. Anyhoo at least my second 4870 for crossfire will now be significantly cheaper......
finally, take that ATi, YOU are being undercut now... on the whole the 4870-1gb performs a little worse than a GTX260 and now costs more, funny to see the tables flipped :laugh:
