FWIW, I paid $349 nearly six years ago for the AppleCare coverage on my 15" PowerBook G4 I bought in autumn 2003. It definitely wasn't $180! The iMac and Mac mini AppleCare prices are in the mid-$100's, and have been for a long time. Maybe you're thinking of those?
I'm not aware of the coverage for the 15" and 17" pro models, pre- or post-Intel, being $180-ish.
