I saw the same pricing as you did but it _just_ changed as I refreshed the page a second time.
1 TB now costs $49.99 per month, or $600/year. This is a substantial jump from $256/year and means it's no longer an attractive proposition...

Depends where you're coming from...
At $50 per T/month they're 50% cheaper than Amazon S3. That's nothing to sneeze at.

I'm in the same boat, having had an 80GB plan for $20/yr for some time now.
I actually bought an 80GB "old" plan this morning ($20 isn't that big of a bet) after seeing the leak of the upcoming pricing, essentially trying to grandfather in a more favorable plan. While the comparison implies that the old plan doesn't have gdrive, I most certainly have it and have the full 80GB available in it. Further I retain the ability to renew the 80GB plan in a year without adopting a new plan.
Perhaps they are simply saying that the people who bought the old plan got a lower price given that they didn't price in google Drive, however they definitely seem to be rolling that functionality in.
