300-330 bucks... looks like computsource is the place to go.

Consider that from the data we have seen so far, leaked as well as simulated (Anand's preview), a Phenom 9700 < Q6600 (performance), yet for the price the Phenom 9700 > Q6600.

This is not including the 2.5 GHz Yorkfield that if you stretch your imagination (a big stretch considering the source) will come in around 270. The only reason to buy a Phenom is if you have an AM2 board you want to upgrade.
either way now ther is a choice for people. atleast for mid to low which is all i want.
when a cpu first comes out of course it will be high. consider how long the Q6600, people just said it performs around a QX6850.
