Newegg X25-M 80G price increase?

Apparently Newegg has just raised the price of the Intel X25-M 80G (retail) to $299? I think it was around $225 not long ago. I was trying to decide between an Intel and an OCZ when I noticed this. (Hope I'm mistaken or that it is a typo, but this is May 1).

As the recent reviews have pointed out, the OCZ SSDs are showing better performance, but at a premium price of around $4/GB.

Could it be that Intel is thinking "If OCZ can get $4/GB, we'll raise our price to $3.75/GB"?
 
This has nothing to do with Intel and Intel's pricing strategy, it is 100% newegg maximizing their supply/demand curve profits.

They (newegg) raised the price of the 160GB G2 some $30 between the time I added to my cart and the time I went to checkout...so I went to amazon and got it for $420 instead. Shop around, sometimes newegg is good and other times they aren't.
 
it is not a typo, it was $217.99 for 2 days then today it shot all the way to $299.99 luckily i bought one yesterday. typical newegg though.

I guess they noticed no one was buying them at $299.

Newegg: "Hm, just for the f*ck of it, let's jack up the price on this SSD by 36%. I'm sure no one will notice."
