When can I expect a price drop for the GTX260 core216?

[tomhardcore]

I was just wondering when the next price drop is gonna be for the 200 series, pacifically the GTX260 core 216. Is there gonna be a price drop when the 300 series comes out later this year? I was planning on upgrading from my 9800GTX+ setup sometime in June or July, I know it might not be worth it but I'm a computer lover. Any help would be appreciated

There was already a big price drop. They were running about 250 US and now can be had for 199.

When HD4890 is released next month at $199, GTX 260 core 216 should fall to less than $170, guess by the end of April.

It`s happening now, with both sides engaged in a vicious, bare knuckle, throat slitting price war.
I`d wait until you need/want to do the upgrade and check prices then.
