Listed at $349.99 with auto-applied promo code SUMMER673 bringing it to $299.99. Only $10 more than recent prices on the 960GB model.
Update: now includes a $20 electronic gift card, so you get $20 toward a future purchase as well making the net price even lower. Update2: gift card is now gone, code is still listed.
These drives have incredible write lifetimes and the lowest latency you can get for a non-volatile storage device. And now that CPUs have gotten faster it's obvious just how ahead of their time they were.

According to reviews these are not retail, so you will either need a U.2 slot or a PCIe/M.2 to U.2 adapter to use these drives in a typical desktop.

I would rather spend $150~$200 for a drive like sk hynix, corsair force mp600, etc that performs nearly the same speed with more storage and a lower price
the optane is barely faster than one of the first gen budget gaming SSDs like HP EX950
Buy what you want though. This is the cheapest new price ever for this drive by $30. For someone who needs or wants one, that's a deal.

1.5GB will make a great system drive and the $300 mark makes it worthwhile for my needs.
Will be upgrading from an SK Hynix Platinum P41 2TB
The M.2 adapters seemed a bit more expensive and the PCIe seemed a better option to me
