About a month ago I did a bit of pricing for having a permanently-on dedicated virtual server through Amazon:
Micro - $105.80/yr (reserved instance)
Bandwidth - $0.00/mo (light transfer usage)
S3 - $0.20/mo (combining storage and transfer)
CloudFront - $0.20/mo (combining requests and transfer)
After a quick glance around I found that it was going to be impossible to beat that price, most especially for the services gained by using AWS (CloudFront, S3, CLI interface + tools, ability to spin up an instance behind the scenes and swap over to it once properly configured...)
The moral of this story is to make sure that you price out the cost of using any platform for your particular usage profile.
