That's price is a straight conversion as $300 is £250, add VAT and it comes to 279, UK is actually paying the exact same price Americans are when they pay with tax.

How does adding 20% on top of £250 come to £279? If its £250 before VAT it would be £300 with 20% added.  It would have to be something like £232 plus VAT to get to £279.

RRP so stores are selling it at that price much like how games are £50 but are often sold for less, some products also get reduce VAT rates.
