That said, it is nice to see that the fastest video card currently on the market is $450.

Well, if you buy 2 3870's, you'd have to get a crossfire enabled motherboard for one which adds to the price (perhaps another $100?). Also for people just looking to upgrade from an older PCI-E card, this would be the top of the line solution as most motherboards don't have two PCI-E slots and aren't crossfire enabled.
Personally I like single card solutions far better than either SLI/Crossfire and would easily pay a 50-100 dollar premium for the X2 over 2 3870's.
