You're going to be waiting awhile. That $379 price is just msrp, it was never a promised price. MSRP is just a suggested retail price, and the actual price is whatever consumers are willing to pay. We already knew that the Founder Edition cards were going to be $449, and pretty much all non reference cards are going to be $429 and up (people are willing to pay). When it comes to tech waiting never really works, before you know it the next generation will be out.
