Appears that way. Still $920 if you had wanted to extract the 10TB back out though.
Yeah... that is one of the really unfortunate lock-ins with AWS. Hopefully they will add data export to their "Snowball" product, but they don't really have a lot of incentive to.
I haven't used it, but I do see that they have both data in and data out on their Snowball pricing[1] page. Data in is free, but data out is $0.03/GB(plus $200 per job). So it would cost a minimum of $500 to use Snowball to transmit 10TB.

Still, it does appear to reduce the price of getting data out of Amazon compared to using the internet.
