Understood. It is not unknown for people to circumvent the geo-blocking and use a US Amazon account. In fact, a recent poster to these forums was asking about just that. And there has, of course, been extensive discussion of this topic on these forums. An Australian House of Representatives Committee actually recommended Australian's be educated in how to overcome this type of price discrimination by circumventing the geo-restrictions. This is of course a personal choice.
