Apparently Amazon.ca (that's the Canadian branch) keeps shuffling the price on this from $70 to $22! It is currently at the $22 mark and with shipping folks are still saying it is under $30, if interested get it ordered quick because they'll surely put it back at $70 before to long.
Thanks for the heads up, ZH!
