On earth? No. AMD is clearly selling these cards to Martains, as Mars don't seem to be suffering the economic crysis, umemployment or debt/mortgage to pay like us earthlings do

A price war would be nice but I'm not holding my breathing.
It seems Nvidia and AMD are placing performance and therefore price-points at slightly different levels to each other. AMD also seem to be increasing their product range. There seems to be a lot more cards t han there used to be, no?
It's a good thing. More choice is always good for consumers. I'm reasonably tempted to get but I don't see much of a benefit over my 6970 yet, will wait for drivers/price drops but I'd say anyone on a 5000 series card that avoided the 6000 series at £320-£350 has a very decent option here, once overclocked.
Why on earth sign every post you make? Because you want to or just because you can?
Have you factored in sales tax/VAT?

American websites do not includes sales tax because it varies between each of the 50 states. The sales tax american customers pay is added during checkout whereas here in the UK it is (mostly) displayed before because the same rate applies to the whole of the country.
Bah, didn't know that
Damn, I'm gutted it sells for almost 400pounds and its a 7950! Argh!

Yea, you fogotten to factor in the "Very Annoying Tax".
Their cards were underpriced hence why they were out of stock for so long. I'm not sticking up for AMD's new pricing scheme just pointing it out.

Cheapest Vs cheapest there is a £90 difference? Which like 25% more?

Apparently the XFX is noisier than a reference card, whereas the Powercolour one is getting good reviews.
