Couldn't fit a more descriptive topic title in - it's regarding regional price hiking.

Well you see D2, the price rise for your side of the world is fully justified because most of these products had to receive major technological advances to make them work properly in Australia. Take the iPod, iPad and iPhone for example. You know how when you turn them upside-down the picture rotates 180º so that can be viewed the right way up? All came about because you Aussies kept seeing the pictures upside-down on your northern hemisphere created iProducts. So the clever people at Apple came up with a solution and now you can watch TV the right way up like the rest of us and this kind of clever thinking doesn't come for free you know. As for hiking up the price on downloadable content. Erm, yes well I expect that's all to do with the postage and packaging charges.
