these are not spot prices, don't confuse people
You have to select Correct linux to see cc2.8xlarge.. try Amazon linux HVM
These ARE the spot prices. Just follow the link.
I've found another problem. If you create a spot request at any price, it's forever either pending-evaluation or pending-fullfilment, but no instance is created. I had 3 in pending-fullfilment for 30 minutes, after that the status changed back to pending-evaluation.
