When SL was announced two days ago, Apple's NZ site said that you'd be able to upgrade from Leopard for $19 (and the Australian site said $14.95). This information is now gone from both NZ and AU and it just says "Coming September 2009 with every new Mac".

The US site still lists a $29 upgrade. Have people from other countries noticed any price changes, or disappearances?

Here's the old "banner" from the Australian site:

$15AUD ~ $20NZD ~ $30USD? Maybe?
 
If they did change it, it wouldn't be the first time a company has messed up a US to foreign conversion.

I'm just wondering how widespread it is. Has this happened in most countries? Or just AU/NZ? I wouldn't be surprised if it comes back at $59 or so.

$1 USD = $1.25 AUD = $1.59 NZD
so, based on the OP's numbers,
$19 NZD = $11.89 USD
$14.95 AUD = $11.97 USD
