That's strange....the prices of HD5870 ended up 379$ instead of 399$ yet the higher price...

and HD5850 ended up at 259$ instead of 299$ and this price getting higher...bad move....bad prices in India..

AMD is facing a shortage of supplies. Apparently they are short of the 40nm wafers, which Nvidia bought a lot for Tegra IIRC. So there is a shortage of those cards. And hence you can expect prices to go up now.
