WOW!!! That SUCKS BIG TIME for the early adopters. I mean, these cards have only been out for 2 weeks or something. When they first hit retail, the GTX 280 started at round 600, with the top of the line cards going up above 700!!! HOLY COW!!! That is a massive price cut, and I feel really sorry for the people who payed 650 for a GTX 280 at launch, only to now be able to get them for 400...a 250 difference (over half way to SLI). Those who went to SLI at launch spent over 1200 on these cards. Now you can go SLI with the GTX 280 for only 100-200 more than the price of a single card just 2-3 days ago!!! WOWOWO!!
I am happy to see ATi sticking it to nvidia in the price aspect of things, and also running in parallel when it comes to performance, and in some games, even better(for half the cost at launch). You could have crossfired 2 4870s for the same or less than a GTX 280 at launch, and completely slaughter the single card. Really happy to see ATi back near the top. Competition is good for everyone, especially the consumers...as you can see by the price war that has just begun!!!
PS. Sucks to be an early adopter, but usually it doesn't bite you in the butt THIS FAST!!!
