Is this really what I think it is??

Question

I found this today in a typical, run of the mill supermarket in the suburbs. They had a couple of plants and a handful of these little pots with various cacti in, and I saw this there (it was the only one) -

If it is what I think it is, look at the price tag :o -

Bummer. Thanks guys. Thought it was too good to be true... I am a cactus novice, but this will make a nice addition to the garden nevertheless -

Probably Gymnocalycium horstii. I quite like this species ornamentally.

EDIT: calcii? what was I thinking... it's horstii.
