Another reason why prices might be coming down. Summer release is the ETA.

Link isn't the most informative. If it was there, some unscrupulous tech journalist will have more to say, or even pics, hopefully.
Still don't think it's a release related price drop. Fury X is still sitting close to release price, as is Fury. This seems more like an adjustment to encourage sales in its own right.

If there was more to it I suspect that Tweaktown wouldn't have been given the "exclusive". As you say, the "article" is about as vague as it gets - no mention at all about whether the card was working, no specs, and the author can't even nail down whether the GPU is the top-tier GPU or the second-tier GPU. Basically the article boils down to "We saw an AMD graphics card".

VideoCardz - Did NVIDIA show Maxwell instead of Pascal?

VideoCardz said:
AMD was at least ready to show Polaris GPUs at RTG Summit and later at CES, and this was confirmed by multiple sources, which unfortunately were not allowed to take any pictures.

Something had to be driving those HDMI FreeSync monitors and the HDR TV.

"Something" being the important part. As for the Nvidia part, no surprise. What, you think we forget about the Fermi "screwgate" event?
Both teams will be releasing some pretty cool stuff come 2nd quarter (we hope) so it doesn't surprise me that RTG are not allowing pics and it doesn't faze me Nvidia use diff chip on a demo board of a product line made for the auto industry.
More importantly to me now, given recent Broadwell-E pricing rumours is how far off Zen is (or isn't). We know AMD RTG can rein in Nvidia but if the CPU side can't steal some Intel thunder, things on that side look a bit bleak.
I'm sure we'll all be squabbling over leaked bullshit benchmarks soon enough but until then, there's nothing to fight about.

Still overpriced.

Even if the graphics used were Polaris based, what is to say the cards used weren't the low end pre-production Pitcairn/Curacao/Trinidad replacement already demo'ed?

Well Fury dropped from $549 to $500 as the cheapest and the Nano went down to the same level. Fury X has dropped from $649 to $629 as the cheapest (Though I thought it was supposed to be lower). Yea the price of Fury X has not changed enough unfortunately to make it overly appealing. Though I would not mind a Fury Nano at the price of $500.

Maybe, would be nice if they stuck to that schedule so I can start making excuses to look for an upgrade

I've been keeping an eye on this to see what our prices would drop to. They've gone up.

Maybe not so great for gaming - https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/R9_Nano/10.html - a bit better than a gtx970

But great for rendering - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU15/1231 (my interest in them)

and VR - http://vrworld.com/2016/02/23/valve-vr-test-nvidia-geforce-wins-against-amd-radeon/

In Australia the prices are all over the place - from $712 to $1149AUD (as at May 2016)

Log in to Newegg as in Australia and The R9 Nano becomes $653aud plus GST - so about $700 all up.

You can find them for around that in Oz. And getting one locally makes any warranty issues much easier to handle.
