Anyone else think UK portable superdrive pricing is weird?

In the UK, adding a superdrive to the new 14" iBook costs only £40!! (Is this a typo?!?!) BUT the superdrive model of the 12" Powerbook with otherwise identical specs is £150 more than the Combo model. WTF? Why not just have one 12" Powerbook model priced halfway between the two and make the superdrive a £40 option. Can we say RIPOFF! Or has Apple just not thought this through? BTW, this isnt one of those iBook vs. powerbook threads, just wondering about the wacky pricing structure. Nice price cut tho....



EDIT: it IS a typo because the superdrive upgrade on the 15" powerbook costs £140 SO ORDER QUICK AND GET A £40 superdrive!!!! I wonder if they will honour orders made at that price or will they just say "it was an error"...
