Hi Ryan,
I read Japanese. :)
As far as I can see, they don't do business beyond Japan. There isn't a
single word even on the possibility of overseas delivery.
The 23,000 price tag for the E77 is nothing to be excited about. Other
online mail order sites (for Japan domestic) go as low as 20,500 yen. :)
There are also retailers like Hyperjack. They haven't quoted a fixed price
for the E77, treating it as the "open-priced" product it is for domestic and
foreign orders.
Back when there were no "Panasonic" stereos in Japan, Sony was a premium
brand, so they used to sell for more. Since the early 90s, Sony's image has
suffered for a while, and this extra profit margin faded, but I guess
they're still trying. Sony's pricing policy in general is still what they
used to do. Add this to a gradual slip in quality in some products...
Some do think Sony has an attitude problem, but oh well, they did lose out
on DVD. :)
