Bought mine for the same price around that time. I wouldn't pay £70 for one.

Less than a month ago, when I was about to get a MSI 6870 Hawk for ~£150, I spotted a deal - the Hawk + WD20EARX (2TB Caviar Green Sata III) for £185 - a saving of about £20. (I know that a GPU + HDD is a strange mix, but they were both exactly what I wanted to complete my Z68/2500K system). As the HDD alone was around £55-60 this effectively priced the Hawk at £125-130, which is a cracking price for such an outstanding card.
Now, about 4 weeks later, the HDD is ~£90, making the Hawk <£100, what a bargain!
Who knows, given another month or two of low stocks and panic buying, I could be the proud owner of a FREE GPU!

Good to know someone is on the good end of this price rise. :/

Using the same logic, almost everything I own was free, given that my house has trebled in price since I bought it.
Forget shares/gold/property, buy hard drives (if you can get them) !
Blimey, I didn't realise the water level had gone that high. No wonder the clean up is going to take so long
yep.
The affected area houses many major electronic companies (see Sony pic also) factories, manufacturing components warehouses as well as finished goods warehouses.
The knock on effect is huge.
Totally fubar!

Unreal images.
Just wait and see how the big manufacturers use it as an excuse to up prices across the board and not just on hard drives , with a major recession and a huge increase in rare earths /minerals/metals in world markets they are all looking to up prices just to keep their margins even. It looks quite grim for techy buyers.
