They must have raised the repair price. I sent mine in for repair for my R1 button (I had dropped it and it had actually broke the micro switch off completely). It was $120 +$30 shipping. They basically had a single fee for minor repairs and one for major repairs.
They only considerd mine a minor repair for me at the time though, not sure why this users got called a major.
The quote is with taxes and other fees included according to the article, and since they're not in the US, I would have to guess much of that price is in shipping it both to Valve for the repairs and back to the user.
