I doubt that it's discontinued. Note that for hot items, Amazon may change
prices daily so what you see today won't be what you see tomorrow. Amazon
also sells stuff itself (and may offer free shipping) but also lets other
companies sell items via the Amazon site. Amazon must get some "slice of the
pie" for allowing others to sell on Amazon's site.
In this case (as of right now, 11AM MST), I see Amazon selling the 350 for
$262.45 with free shipping. Amazon itself does not seem to offer the 360,
but "Amazon Associates" (or whatever they're called) like Beach Camera offer
to sell the 360 on Amazon--and Beach's current price on Amazon is $284.49 +
S&H.

PS--If you're willing to wait to buy a popular item on Amazon, it's
therefore a good idea to check Amazon's price daily for a week or so to see
how their prices vary--then buy when the price is near its overall low
price. Also, when buying from one of the "associates," be sure to check
buyers' feedback on the vendor and be wary of vendors with less-than-stellar
ratings.
