    most of the stuff in europe isn't too different when you take taxes in account. However there are a few products with a BIG difference.



    (I again bring up the apple tv which is $100 more in the uk before tax!)

    Using UK Apple Store price (EXCLUDING VAT)



    Apple TV (US) = $229

    Apple TV (UK) = $329 - (£169.36)



    Thats $100 difference!!!



    You think that is bad?





    Apple TV (US) = $229

    Money I have to spend on an Apple TV = $0.0



    That's $229 difference!!!



    Come on Apple, show me the money!

    Does Canada put some kind of tax on flash player to pay to recording companies to make up for the royalties from copyright infringement? Did I read that somewhere. Or is that the US

    When you order on line they ship from China. So, yea, the shipping is a wash.
