wow, that is like 250 Euros - the price of a Wii here.

Price at amazon is without taxes, the Euro price for the Wii is including VAT.
VAT is around 19%, so $349 * 1.19 = $415 ==313 Euro's.

Nice discount though

 

amazon doesn't have tax at all except you live in cali

 

That doesn't change Willem's point, which is that European price tags already include VAT. That should be taken in account when comparing EU with US prices, as Faxanadu did.

Europeans can get a PS3 for 290 € + shipping (from Amazon UK). That's $330 before tax, so cheaper than the Amazon USA promotion.
