AMD Radeon HD 7700 and 7800 cards price drops
It was to be expected in anticipation of the GeForce GTX 650 (Ti) release. AMD's Radeon HD 7700 and 7800 series graphics cards keeps dropping. It's not an official price cut, but rather AMD's partners lowering their prices. Starting today, AMD Radeon HD 7850 1GB costs $159 (after rebate), whereas the 2GB version carries $189 official price-tag. The AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition graphics board now has manufacturer suggested retail price of $119.
AMD and its partners specifically reduced price of sub-$200 graphics boards to improve positions in the most popular segment of graphics boards.

I'm tempted to get another 7750 but I don't really like crossfire (or SLI).

Better scaling in production? There could be a lot of reasons, but I think they just want to have the competitive edge against NVIDIA.
I was very close in getting the NVIDIA GeForce 560 compared to the Radeon HD 6870 when I was looking to buy a new graphics card in summer 2011 but the local computer stores here suddenly dropped the price of the Radeon HD 6870 and it was enough to automatically got me to get this card, the price for performance was a lot better than NVIDIA GeForce 560, sure it doesn't beat it in everything, but for the most part it's on par or best it.
Companies know that many people rather save money if it means sacrificing a bit of performance for it.

Only reason to hate them, is if you bought them early....and are now trying to get rid of them for some reason...
