Sometimes it surprises me, but NZ doesn't always seems to be considered an offshoot of the Australian market as geography would suggest. Australia is a much bigger market, and NZ is very small. I would not be surprised if Sony NZ is considered by Sony to be an offshoot of the US for their purposes.
I was wondering too if Sony might release the T3 closer to Christmas.
And yes, the T3 in only AUD$150 there. I can't imagine it selling for the equivalent here. I may buy from Australia, but the value of having a local seller for the benefit of having decent access to a warranty service is not to be underestimated. My wife bought a T1 from Japan to get the Japanese firmware, and when it arrived in New Zealand is was bricked! Getting it fixed under warranty in Japan was a real hassle and very slow.
