Xbox one $499

A big ol' F*CK YOU for price, 499$ =/= 499euros.

( Dont answer saying its shipping or anything, shipping is less than 2% of the price of the product. they do it because they know they can get away with it!)

 

currency exchange, shipping, export tax?

Currency exchange=no

Shipping=no

Export tax? do you think they ll manufacture them in the US? They will all be made in china or something and then imported in the US/EU/everywhere, they just have the "same price" because they can get away with it.

Don't worry not justifying it, Microsoft Fubared this one.

Economics is never simple, there are always multiple factors that influence regional pricing. Supply/demand, competitive products, import/export, currency exchange - just the tip of the iceberg tbh. It's also a trend across most consumer electronic devices, so it's not surprising that EU gets a higher price. AU gets shafted a lot worse.

Yeah, sony did the same with 399$ and 399euro but then again so has nvidia with the 780. Yeah AU just gets it really bad
