I read somewhere on one of the 8 different sites that had reviews of this thing up that the Nvidia rep was calling this the modern age Geforce Ti4200.
I am expecting to see 256 MB 8800GTs in the $150-180 range, probably after Christmas, which likely would make that statement true. It's been a long time since a sub-$200 card has completely invalidated previous gen cards at double the cost, but it looks like that's what the 256 MB 8800GT is set to do. Just as the Ti4200 did so many years ago.
Time will tell, but the card introduction is definitely a good sign for savvy consumers. It can only get better if whatever ATi has lined up is even semi-competitive (unlike the x2900 series).
