A$50 is the same price that sold out in some other parts of Australia last year. Electronic gear always costs more in Oz ... when the A$ is low, that is the excuse, and when its high, protecting themselves in case it falls is the excuse.

Exactly! that's why a lot of people (myself included) buy overseas where possible. It works out far cheaper, even with postage. There's always talk of keeping the dollar in Australia etc. I'd gladly do it if they weren't trying their hardest to gouge people. I'd much rather give my money to some honest individual overseas than someone trying to pick my pocket over here. Why would I willingly give a thief money? < /rant > That's why I never got a DTV :) -- -----> http://members.dodo.com.au/~izabellion1/tristan/index.html <----- ===== It's not pretty, it's not great, but it is mine. =====
