US prices are always quoted without sales taxes, so taxes will be added. The Wii is $249 plus tax in the US. The gap between US and Euro/Aussie prices is not that huge if you consider sales taxes. |
I was just about to point this out when I saw your post. I wish I could make it even bigger so we could cut back on some of the whining...
Also to take into consideration is import duties. I don't know how much that may also inflate the price in some countries.
Numbers are like people. Torture them enough and you can get them to say anything you want.
