wow, that is like 250 Euros - the price of a Wii here.

Price at amazon is without taxes, the Euro price for the Wii is including VAT.
VAT is around 19%, so $349 * 1.19 = $415 ==313 Euro's.

Nice discount though

amazon doesn't have tax at all except you live in cali

or NY

or WA where, you know, they are based. Or any other state they have offices or warehouses in.

NY is only because they passed this lame law where if the seller has any advertisements for companies within the state then to sell a product on the internet to someone in that state they must collect sales tax. Amazon decided they couldn't be bothered to figure out if they were advertising for NY based companies so they just decided to tax NY no matter what.
