Sign of prices to come: $259 5850 (MSI) at Newegg

So I see the 5850 is down to $259 after rebate on Newegg. Its the "MSI Twin Frozr".

Since this used to be a bit of a pricey card, can we expect that 5850 prices are headed down for good now that some competition has emerged?

All things considered, it should be priced around $240 and the 5870 at $320.

$260 for a variant of the card with "premium" cooling would suggest that we'll end up seeing your run of the mill 5850's for $240 dollars or less. One would hope anyway.
