2TB Time Capsule coming soon?

An Engadget reader spotted a Clubmac advertisement (clever publicity stunt?) with a 2TB Time Capsule on it.  Apple, of course, just updated the radios on their Time Capsules so that they could broadcast at two different speeds/frequencies at the same time.  Would another update at this time make any sense?

At first, we'd think no.  But 2TB drives are just hitting the market.  Perhaps this was later than Apple had planned and they made the decision to go ahead without the updated drives until they became available in quanity.    Also, Apple could just add a new super-uber-extreme version at 2TB and make everyone happy by lowering the prices of the other ones.  

Everyone except people who just bought a Time Capsule.

It's about time! With the prices of Hard Drives dropping like flies! This should happen SOONER than later!
1TB = $299 (Airport Extreme $199 + 1TB Drive $100)
2TB = $499 (Airport Extreme $199 + 2TB Drive $200)

Your math sucks. For the 2TB $199 + $200 = $399...

Club Mac is Mac Mall and a bunch of liars, fake, and a poor publicity stunt probably to try and build the brand.

Apple uses Server Grade drives in the Time Capsule, not el cheapo off the floor ones you are getting cheap now-a-days.

Yeah, keep believing that. What exactly makes them server grade?
