I'd suggest that in addition to having little to do with exchange rates, it also has little to do with either intelligent practices (as you would define them) or efficiency. Since forever, my UK colleagues and friends have complained that US and UK prices for consumer goods of all sorts are the same in numerical terms. Something that cost £500 could be purchased in the US for $500. This was true even when £1 = $1.75 or more. I've heard the same thing said of Euro zone prices compared to US prices. The difference is far too great for VAT to be the reason. In my experience, this is no more true with Logitech's products than for most other consumer products. Squeezebox products seem to be very successful in Europe and elsewhere despite prices consistently higher than in the US. If you're unhappy with the Canadian marketplace, then you should do as you suggest, buy other products. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78389
