They want to cry about something they should cry to their gov to drop tariffs, until then stfu with all the whining about price.

This was, arguably, the most intelligent post in this thread, it's a shame it was overlooked.

You can't merely say 'X' console cost 'Y' amount of dollars in the US and 'Z' amount of dollars in Australia and call it a rip-off. There are many more factors to consider.

It would have helped if twingo had given some links or indications about which tariffs these are, and how much they increase the price as compared to the US. One thing may be VAT, but I don't even know if that is included in the MSRP as it happens in Europe.
