Monthly magazines have about a 3 month lead time for advertising.  That means 
the prices you saw were 3 months old (basically).  I get my prices from MacWEEK,
a weekly magazine.

If you were looking in the April MacWorld, I recommend you look again.  I saw
ads for Quantum drives for well under $569.  Try looking at pages 230 and after.
