yup, looks like someone forgot to clean up the html



look at the yellow area below coming soon, that's where that element with the price is, but it has no displayed content. The $729.99 is so that scripting code can easily access the price

So that's it and it was obvious from the beginning guys:
The 290 will be 599$ and the 290X will be 699$. Quite expensive if you ask me...

I wonder what's the actual performance gap between those 2.
