I'm totally peed off that I have to pay aud $100 more than the same device price jn the US. So why the stuff should I buy the device non Australia?!?!?!

Aud $439.95 (really .95!), usd $260 (xe.com 347.80 aud = 260 usd)

There is no rationale for this extraordinary differential except price gouging.
There can be a lot of reasons.

currency uncertainty, different/smaller market, customs, does Australian prices include taxes? (cause the Canadian and US don't)
