Newegg has the SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition OC 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card (11199-03-20G) for $200 - $15 rebate [Exp 10/31] = $185 with free shipping. Here's a glowing review from X-bit Labs.
$185
scary reviews... pretty much everyone said the same thing... lockups, crashes, black screens...
Scary... fitting for today.
But, man you're right, it's like all of a sudden in May the reviews went south and it appears a 50/50 chance from then to now. It would have me wondering... do I feel lucky? Today is the last day to buy and then 30 days to send the rebate.
Being the 7870 and if I was in the market I'd roll the dice. Although I'd know going in be ready to install, stress it, and play everything for 3 weeks before I cut that Bar-Code.

I think you'll get a great response and service from Egg orSapphire if you get one!
