Just bought an 360 Arcade the other day as a refurbished version for 58€ at a local electronic store. They selled them for 88€ because of a grand re-opening. 58 for me because of a gift card i get earlier this year.

Why such a bias against Nvidia?
Because of their politics.

I've done a fair amount of research, and so far it seems that the GTX580 is the fastest card currently on the market - faster than any single-GPU ATI cards.
I have to agree with this.

Also, I have heard from many sources, both personal and online that ATI drivers suck, and you have to get community-made/modified drivers for it to work well.
I'm having ATI for many years now and i have no problems with their drivers. In th early noughties they have had a bit trouble with the drivers but now? The Catalyst runs perfectly on my PC (Vista HP x64 & XP HE x86) and i can play most games on max with my HD4870 - ok, haven't played Crysis 2, Bad Company or MW2 yet but Metro 2033, Bioshock 2, DNF & Half Life 2 with the
Cinematic Mod are runing excellent with everything on max except AA & AF which are on 8x.

ATI do some great cards (I have one), but if money is no barrier then I would go with Nvidia everytime because of their physx engine.
If you're running Vista or Win7 you can buy a small nvidia-card for physx secondary to your ati. Under Vista you have to do some McGyver-tactics to get it work, but under Win7 it's very easy because Win7 allows you to installed and run 2 drivers simultaneously.
