Ah... good ole capitalism. Or is it economics? Both?
Freedom Kira:
I'd say mostly economics, but that's because capitalism is so ingrained in economics...
But it's basic supply and demand. Demand doesn't change, but supply suddenly drops, so the price has to increase to reach the balance... Equilibrium, I think the term was.

i got the same thing (130$ no tax/shipping), came in the mail a few days ago. i regret not buying more than one. the price however only went up 40$ and the WD 3TB that i almost bought only went up 60$. i wonder if i should get another before they get higher, or are the prices on it's way down already. doubt that
i find this to be a good opportunity to sell my 1TB externals that i've been meaning to get rid of (holy crap! im evil too :-\)

Isn't economics just the mathematical notation of capitalism?

Economics can be applied to other systems besides capitalism. There are few places that has pure capitalism.
