Given that Australia is currently pegged approximately equal to the loonie and near enough to the US dollar not to matter, I left out exchange rates.
The PRS350SC is advertised at $229 AUD inc. GST; that is, $208.18 AUD + $20.82 AUD GST.
The PRS650BC is advertised at $299 AUD inc. GST; that is, $271.82 AUD + $27.18 AUD GST.
On Sony US's website, the Reader Touch Edition is $229.99 USD and the Reader Pocket Edition is $179.99 USD.

That's a considerable price difference..
Those are similar to the £sterling UK prices & I guess much cheaper than the €uro prices when they are announced.

EDIT!
O'oops looks like the currency rate converter I Googled was a bit out of date. those prices are much the same as the UK ones.
