It's quite unusual that placeholder prices are that inflated, especially when the product is fully unveiled with specs and features and has an actual retail price already set in other regions. So, no, this is not the usual Scandinavian placeholder routine. I thought it was common knowledge that we pay insane prices for electronics here?

Nope not uncommon at all, in fact it is praxis. Even Webhallen has stated so on facebook. We pay more on electronicsfor sure, but not double the price. It will probably land ~800 SEK or so but it wont be 1200.

Well, I say it's unusual, I grew up in Norway and moved to Sweden 3 years ago. Either Swedish retailers do it differently (I never shopped for goods in Sweden before moving here since toll fees and VAT's would wreck any and all price differences anyway) or we simply have widely differing opinions for some reason, or perhaps simply shop in different places online and/or read different media and sources.

I dunno, but electronics are still way overpriced here, and with the damn license fees on top, it's a pain for a lot of people (the annual cost of simply owning a TV is pure BS).
