I'm pretty sure it comes down to currency values.

I imagine the ~20% hike versus ~15% drop in value is to protect themselves from additional swings in value of the Pound/Dollar ratio, which isn't hard to imagine given the wild ride we've all been on in the last month or two.

Hopefully in time it will stabilize...

The price in Austrlian dollars went up by 30% for the same reason \:\( The Aussie dollar chart
I wonder if they calculate prices in local currencies based on the Canadian or US dollar?
