After getting partially undercut by Nvidia's GeForce 8800 GT and GeForce 8800 GS graphics cards, AMD's Radeon HD 3870 and 3850 cards are expected to receive further competition from Nvidia tomorrow. According to THG, the prices for the HD 3870 should drop from $245 to $189; The price of the HD 3850 512 MB should drop from $199 to $169. The new prices aren't huge departures from the launch figures, but they do make the Radeons more competitive in the face of Nvidia's offerings.

For reference, the cheapest GeForce 8800 GT model Newegg offers today is priced at $219.99. According to DigiTimes, AMD expects e-tailers to overcharge for GeForce 9600 GTs when they come out because of short supply and high demand, which could push it over the $200 mark.
