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.

as if there isn't a huge amount of competition right now dude, the market is about as competitive as it ever has been, great price/performance all round and a product for everyone.
^^
IMO this is so much for the chip/pcb production cost theorists and naysayers. I mean according to what Charlie at the Inq says about costs, Nvidia must be selling the cards $100-200 lower than what it costs to make them. :rolleyes:
I bought my 4850 IceQ4 versions for 305...... need to sell them >_> WTS!!!

www.shopbot.com.au/search.asp?page=1&position=search&kw=4870&orderby=p <-- start from there its somewhere in there lol ..
www.bttech.com.au/powercolor-radeon-pcie-4870-p-23817.html heres the 1gb its 370 actually lol, still way cheap though. 60 - 70 dollars away from a 4850.
GTX260 in shop bot is still 380+ but would probably drop price soon.
