Why is it news when things cost more in Europe than in the US? We don't have incredibly high taxes. This is something new for the US.

I don't live in Europe.

And? I didn't say you did.

You see complaints about the price differences, etc pretty often. It has everything to do with taxes in those regions. If that can warrant complaint, then the first time a city tries to do something completely new that could affect video game prices, then it's noteworthy.

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
