If you shop around you can still find them a lot cheaper, 6870s for 169.99 today for example.
I haven't found any at this price.

same here. £179.99 for a VTX is cheapest I can see.

I think some stores like OCUK have 1 day specials which don't show up when you use google shopping so you have to do it the old fashioned way.
Prices have gone up which is a kick to teeth to be frank but if they have gone it's due to demand so they must be good cards to own but I don't really want to pay more then £170 inc del for a HD6870 when I build my HTPC.
edit:
Some cards have gone up by quite a bit, there was a XFX 6870 on pre order at OCUK No1 rival store at £170 last week and I see know its jumped up to £191

To be honest I think he may have not read the description right and got it mixed up with a 6850.
I ordered the Sapphire 6870 on Sunday for £176 delivered (it's being delivered tomorrow) from a competitor (sorry OCUK!). so there are deals out there - you just need to look around. the same card is now selling for over £200 on the competitors site.

For those of you looking for the 6870, I got the last one, its the VTX one and there is a discount code for £10 off (orders over £150) plus 3% quidco so it was actually £163 or something, but you can still preorder.
