Well a lot of websites are stating June, and as far as i'm concerned this is nVidia's last chance to prove that they haven't gone completely insane.

The GTS 440 and GTS 450 will use the GF104 as-is, and go up against the ATI Radeon HD 5830 and HD 5770 respectively, while the GTS 430 will have a pared down version of the Femi chip. That will pack 192 shader cores, 48 TMUs, 24 ROPs and have a 192-bit memory bus. Pricing is expected to be in the region of €200-230 ($268-308) for the GTS 450, €160-180 ($214-241) for the GTS 440, and €130-150 ($174-201) for the GTS 430.

Depending on pricing and power these could be great mid range cards, which will probably be excellent folders and might be just what i've been waiting for (as a Linux user).
 
The 465 is barely faster than a 5830, in fact they are just about even, so now an even more cut down part is faster than a 5830 and looking at the suggested price they looked to be priced way off the their ATI counterparts just like the rest of the range.

You know why all the Nvidia cards are overpriced.

Becuase its taken them an extra 6 months to develop, so just to make back the money they spent making the damn thing, they have them overpriced for the actuall performance they produce.
