Wow it's cheap, I was looking at it thinking $5 per month for 20gb, that's pretty competitive. Then I saw it was $5 per year! I guess they have the infrastructure to do this and still make profit.

When I following the link you posted I get the new pricing page. It is just taking them awhile to propagate the stuff to all their servers. Give it another ten-twenty min and try again.

But in the blogpost it says:"You can choose to upgrade to 25GB for $2.49/month, 100GB for $4.99/month or even 1TB for $49.99/month"
Yeah. I got all excited at the idea of paying $50/year for 200GB. The actual prices are still much cheaper than Dropbox, but not quite as radical as it first seemed.
