Price to performance is pretty good it looks like it.

I think the other guy is OcUK is right though, I can see a price jumping up after Christmas similar to what happened on the 5870.

It does look slower than gtx 580 which is not a surprise. If priced around 380-400 with the lower model 300, it really doesn't force NV to lower their price though. Its still good value, like the gtx 570. I really like the 2gb so I think that could be the deal breaker. The gtx 580 can lower its price maybe 50 dollars, but they really don't need to if they maintain performance leadership.

With such massive quantities as Goober is showing, I am pretty sure they could have launched this card a month ago, if not earlier.
