[Online retailer Newegg has already dropped the prices of some of its Geforce GTX 280 and 260 card and the price drop is a lot more than expected. Asus and MSI GTX 280 cards are already listed for as little as US$499.99 (€318/£252), but as if that wasn't good enough, Asus is offering a $30 mail-in rebate and MSI is offering a $40 one.
This means that you can get the MSI card for as little as US$459 (€293/£232) which is really going to put some pressure on AMD. Cards from other manufacturers seem to be selling for anything between $519 and $729.99, so the price cut hasn't taken effect across the board as yet.
GTX 260 cards haven't dropped quite as much in price, but you can pick up an MSI card for $299.99 (€191/£151) which is still a very good deal, although most of the other cards listed are selling for between $329.99 and $429.99.
Hopefully this price drop will follow suite across the pond in Europe as well, but time will tell if there'll be as much of a price cut outside of the US.
Update: It turns out that the MSI mail-in rebate is available for its GTX 260 card as well and both offers are available until the end of the month, this makes the MSI card even cheaper at $259.99 (€165/£131). All you have to do is go to this website and register your purchase and you get the money back from MSI.]
