Gonna quote again, Thanks so much ^^ can someone convert the effected into US dollars? What are they like? how unfairly priced are these compared to USA own 500$ tag? And is sony in the postive or negative per country like Mexico is in negative while I think Canada might be in positive? about Europe is it all Europe including West europe and East Europe? Europe has many countries so it's a continent.

I edited it in after you quoted

Converted to US dollars PS5 is
US 500
Australia US 455 US 559
Canada US 501
China US 525
Europe US 550 (however Europe prices include tax, up to 21%)
Japan US 441
Mexico US 625
UK US 566 (also includes 20% VAT, so US 472 before tax)

So Mexico is overpaying (unless tax is added there to), Japan is getting a deal. (Least shipping costs, no import duties)
Mexico probably has high import fees on gaming.

Australia has an included tax of 10% and Mexico an included tax of 16%.
