US prices are generally quoted ex sales taxes, making direct comparisons without adjusting for this invidious.
Its very rare a us price get translated directly to the uk sterling amount,an ipad is $499, its £399 here,all iphone configurations are £70 less for every $100 extra in the us,will people stop defending amazon it's getting annoying now,there being greedy!

The voyage is $199 and £169 here ,the higher the amount the greater the difference should be,basic economics people!
