I think that is pushing it, I still believe £249 launch day price, settling down thereafter for the 5870.
Although, remember for a time, all be it, indirectly, the 5870 will be the high end card on the market. We all know they release the *850s and *870s around the same time with an X2 following. But until that time, the 5870 will serve as there high end card so there is scope for gouging. Especially if its quicker than a GTX 295.
If they charge that much though then I, and I bet most will wait for the Nvidia cards, at the very least so they can balance out the market, even if you didnt intend on an Nvidia card.
