Yes. Just as HP did when they introduced the 41C. The next day after you bought it you needed to return to the shop and buy extra memory. And if you had an HP-67 or Ti59 before, you would not want to live without a card reader... Adding memory and the card reader almost doubled the price of the calculator.

It doubled (without almost) at least here in Italy. :)
