I wish TVs were as cheap as that here in Japan.

Do they include sales tax and environmental fee in the prices in Japan? There's another 13% on top of those prices here.
Weird that Sony tvs are more expensive in Japan than in Canada.

 

That depends on the shop. But most advertise prices without tax so it looks cheaper.

Tax here is 8%, but still Sony products are more expensive in Japan than in Canada and the USA. Bummer.

The cheapest 55 incher from Sony on the price comparison site kakaku.com (most-used in Japan) is 16800 Yen (with tax), or about 1850 CAD, which would be about 1635 CAD when taking off 13% tax.
