Default Nvidia Prices to drop soon.

Nvidia will cut $90 of the Geforce GTX 280 price-tag, but this is Nvidia's price to partners and we are not sure just how much will this affect the suggested etail price. We are sure that end user prices will also drop but probably a bit less than $90.

The Geforce GTX 260 will be $30 cheaper to partners and Nvidia will only offer limited price protection which means that some partners / distributors and stores might end up with some overpriced cards at their warehouses.

Many people won’t be happy but as of tomorrow GTX 280 and GTX 260 should be cheaper.
Price drops are good for everyone, but I will still wait on the X2's...

I wonder how the failure of many of Nvidia's chips will affect this?

TG Daily - Nvidia's stock bloodbath - company admits faulty chips, shares plunge 22%
