Okay I'm wondering why America gets things cheaper.
For example a Nintendo Wii game in America is $50-60
A Nintendo Wii game in the UK is £40
The exchange rate is roughly
£1 = $2
So $50 / 2 = £25. They are getting £15 off.
Or $60 / 2 = £30 They are getting £10 off.
Why is this ?

Probley they are made over there? So less tax and no shipping ect.

It's because they don't have taxes I thought O.O
It is like duty free items, they are cheaper because no taxes.Edited by Garion (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not have images in your signature that exceed the 150 Pixel height limit for your usergroup.

Plus the pricing is different in America.
Where as we might get a bottle of fizzy pop for 70p in America they would price a bottle (as a guess) around $1
Just like on Deal or No Deal in the UK the top prize is £250,000 whereas the American version is $1million.
