Who wants to sell a GTX275 - for $100?
(its obvious, but highlighting for folks waiting for Fermi)

The GTX are all great products with very good performance and features. I certainly wouldn't reject it if I won a couple as a prize. GT200/b is better than AMD's HD48xx lineup.. but that comes at a price. Even though GTX260/275 sell for a quarter of the price of their high end cousins, the chips and boards cost about the same

chip, transistor_gate_size, chip_area
G92 65nm 330
G92b 55nm 231 / 260?

GT200 65nm 576
GT200b 55nm 470 / 412 ?
Fermi 40nm ??? BIG

HD38xx 55nm 192
HD48xx 55nm 260

HD58xx 40nm 334
HD57xx 40nm 166

We know Fermi will be big. Like HD5870, 40nm, but much bigger. And that means more power. And more complex 384bit memory PCB vs HD5870's 256bit (just like GT200 vs HD4870). AMD will be able to steal market share with price war like before. nVidia will either lower prices really low making no profit (ie GTX275 for $150), or lose market share.

Because in the end, even if Fermi is 50% faster, makes coffee and does your taxes, it's still very big and expensive. AMD already flooded market with cheap DX11 cards, and with today's economy struggling to recover, very few will be able to justify the price tag over mortgage bills.
