[QUOTE="Worf, post: 187089, member: 1047"] On the flip side, it make prices in the US seem very cheap, until you add in tax. I mean, if the price on the shelf says $1.99, it's not $1.99 when you're done, it's $2.15 for example (if it was 8% tax). So you have to do mental math to figure out what you really pay. Or when people compare prices between US and Europe and see it's $1999 US while they complain it's Euro1999, forgetting sales tax and other stuff. (The practical reason for this is in the US the sales tax varies because there's a state tax, a county tax and a city tax all added together). In Canada it's the same, even though there's only really one tax rate per province. There are pros and cons to every way of doing it. (Of course, we can't forget stuff like in Europe, warranties last a minimum of two years, while in North America they can be 90 days to a year, so part of the increased European price is the extended warranty you pay for). Or more relevant here, the fact that you have a 7 day return period for digital downloads. Consumer protection isn't free and producers all add it in to the final price. [/QUOTE]
