Another point: One of the local shops selling games, videos etc, buy most of it's ps3 and 360 games from the US.
That is: NOT from the scandinavian distributors whom they by law should use.
The reason this shop (and others) buy from the US is because the games are about half the price in the US.
I really hate the policy in effect for most of Europe.
Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo etc charge a lot more for their games in Europe, it's MUCH more than the VAT and shipping costs. And to prevent us from buying cheap from the US or other places, they give exclusive distribution rights to 1 company. Lots of shop/dealers do grey imports anyway to rise margins or to compete on price. There are no reason why games should cost more than in the US (+ VAT and some small charge maybe for localization of the game).
