Doesn't matter if you can when a lot of customers can't ...
That'd be like saying I can find a pair of GTX 680/770's for $200. It's trending towards sub $500 but it's far from over for being able to find GTX 780TI's for sub $500 easily.

A lot of customers can't buy the 295 x2 for $1000 either. Most places in UK don't even stock it and the few that do are asking upwards of 800 GBP on average, which is $1300.
The average price on Amazon UK for a 295x2 is closer to 950 gbp, which is $1550+
Just because a persons location or choice of shopping doesn't let them buy things for a certain price doesn't mean it's impossible, at the same time it doesn't exclude alternative products such as the 295x2 from being hard to find or higher in price too.
Frankly anyone buying a 295X2 or Titan Z right now on in the near future, unless theyre snagging one that was mispriced for a crazy low price, don't have all of their dogs barking. Hell i'd genuinely question the legitimacy of buying a GPU at all this entire year, given how massively outclassed it's going to be by next year, more so than the progression of previous years.
We're fast approaching the bottlenecking point for GDDR5, the next time i upgrade my system i seriously doubt the cards of the day will be using GDDR5 at all.
And more on topic, I'm going to give the first generation of stacked DRAM gpu's a wide birth and let the early adopters iron out the kinks. ever since the advent of rohs, first gen surface mount components have been a clusterfuck.
