So we pay a US$0.17 (AUS$0.22) premium per track for living in Australia.
Any news on what a full album costs? in the US itunes shop it's like $9 or $9.99 or something like that.
I guess because I tend to buy new music of the non top 40 type where a full length album is $27 + (often $32+) (ie anybody seen Modest Mouse's "GNfPwLBN" out cheap in Big W? No? thought not) as such even without a discounted full album rate there would be a reasonable saving for of around $13 purchasers like me...
my main issue is that the few iTunes ACC based tracks that I've had friends buy for me in the UK and US don't seem to be that much better quality than 128kbps MP3's which I don't rate as being listenable quality
Thanks Apple. Can someone please pass me the KY?
... not just Apple so tell me why a Canon EOS digital camera's costs between 25% and 50% more here in Australia than in the US despite freight costs Japan/Taiwan to Aust and US being much of a muchness? factoring in Aust Federal GST V's US's easly avoidable state by state sales tax and we are still being shafted by someone.
small market? or are we just willing to pay more than US consumers?
