What bugs me is the exchange rate used. $349 is not close to £299, more like £220, sure allow margin for flexability etc. But still £80 more however you look

What bugs me is the exchange rate used. $349 is not close to £299, more like £220, sure allow margin for flexability etc. But still £80 more however you look at it just a bit evil. Least the exchange rate on the 32GBversion is less evil, but still evil.

We live in blessed times where the threshold for being evil has fallen so low.

  sarcasim? Take it you do not live in the UK and with that not effected by such evil exchange rates! FYI in the UK they are charging an extra $128.20 if your able to get your head around that.

Did you account for VAT? That 20% pushes your £220 up to £264 ... Only 35 quid difference.

  No I did not, you are correct that could and would make a difference. Though no mention was made that stoof out too me regarding VAT. Indeed do the $ prices include any form of TAX/VAT/sales TAX?

    No, they do not. It's a form of price advertising deception that I'm glad is outlawed in most of Europe.

      Ouch sorry too hear that, what would be a more realistic price for the States with sales TAX etc on average?
