Prices are already dropping, the card I have cost £150 two months ago, now it costs sub £100 and one that is a lot better costs £150.
As and when the DX10 cards are shipped out the prices for DX9 ones will drop also a short while later.

Cant see it happening just yet as the 8800 is a niche product right now. As DX10 hardware becomes more mainstream they'll to drop.
Agree with chuckskull.
I just bought a 7900GS, I don't really anticpate it (or other mid-range cards) droping much in price for quite a while. The higher end (7950s and X1900XT/1950XT) will probably see a respectable drop within a month or two however.
how much did you pay oralpain?
Look out for things like the 7900gto which is a gtx with downclocked memory, 99% of them will clock to normal gtx speeds with no problems and they're pretty cheap (£170).
What you'll find is that by the time the 8000s become mainstream the 7000s will have largely sold out - there won't be any high-end 7000s for sale. I don't think you'll find a better bargain than the 7900GTO until you get a mid-price 8000 card.
Unless you go ATi ;) Much better over here on the red side :)
