They'll come in their original packaging and I'll pay for shipping in the Lower 48. Otherwise, shipping cost is NOT included. I think it's a decent deal considering the GTX 780 and GTX 970 perform similarly. And GTX 970s are still going for around $320 before rebates.
I think this is an easy way for someone to try SLI if they have the system to do it with. In games that support SLI, you will experience performance equal to or even better than the mighty GTX 980 Ti
