Since Sony (or what I could reach of them) has proven practically impossible to talk to or with, I, too have considered buying the devices in the US and forwarding them to Germany by one of the many shipping services.

I have tried to place an order using my USA Bordelinx account. At first, everything went OK: the credit card was accepted/billed and I received order confirmation from Sony. However, two days later "Order Cancellation Notificiation" email arrived without stating any particular reason for the said cancellation. They even manage to include in email a broken link to
Sony support where I could "ask" additional questions
Concerning the total cost of the would-be-purchase:
At Sony:
Subtotal: $999.00
Discount: -$5.00
Shipping: $5.00
Sales and Use Tax: $72.43
Charge to CreditCard: $1071.43 ~850€
At Bordelinx (shipping to Europe,VAT,customs):
appr. 250€
So 1100€ is the price tag for Europe
