It's even more expensive here in Norway, we have the most expensive goods in the world! It's true, no kidding!!
When I cross the border to Sweden, I laugh at how cheap things are, especially foodstuffs and car parts.
I'm trying to buy an Intercooler for my Volvo, so I visited a shop in Østersund in Sweden called H2M.
Their IC in my desired size was about 1800 SEK, which translates to roughly 1550 NOK.
I found the same IC on a sale here in Norway... At 6000 NOK...

Insanity to say the least...

As for games and consoles; a Wii game costs around 100$ here, and the Wii itself about 500$, and it's the cheapest console by far!
Before the 40 GiG, it was impossible to get a PS3 here for less than 1100$...

PS: If anyone wonders, I pay about 2 dollars 10 cents for one LITRE of gas...
My car? A 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo with roughly 200.000 kilometers on the dial, at which price? 105.000 NOK, or approx 18-19.000 $, and it was cheap by our standard.

PSPS: Please; feel free to pity me...
