i don't understand the last sentence.
and if your sales tax is only around 5% or 6%, then even if the 299$ price is before tax and our 299€ is including VAT, there is still a HUGE difference in price which seems to me pretty abusive ("common practice" doesn't seem too convincing as a justification to me, sorry Sony / la Fnac).
