Yup, that's why Commodore has an announcement in the What's New section
listing the Amiga 500 as being available for $649. All in all a very 
big blunder on the part of Commodore Product Marketing that makes them
appear incompetent. I am sure there are reasons for the price hike, no
one in their right mind would do this to themself on purpose.
