Play-Asia raising prices?

[variablesunknown]

I have been waiting for Marvel Ultimate Alliance to be restocked for a while now, since I read cheapy's post about it. Yesterday Playasia sent me an email letting me know that it was back in stock, but when I checked the game is now $53.99 before shipping! That is up from Cheapy's thread of $43 including shipping. What is up with this? Is this a trend we are going to start seeing more of? Is Playasia's excellent $40 price point a limited time only deal?

Yes, the price on a few of them have been moving up lately.

7 out of the 21 games are above 40.
