@lufferov: that's not how maths works. If $490 is the price including tax at 20% it does not mean that the tax is $98.

Edit: but yes people do forget that tax is included in the price given and they don't take minimum wage and cost of living into account either

Okay, well then £349 - 20% VAT is £280. If you convert that to USD you get $395. So it seems a pretty good deal to me!

Ugh, that Canadian price is painful. Even at current exchange rates it shouldn't be that high. And it'll be even more with tax. I wonder if it will be cheaper for me to buy it from the States and ship it to me.

Is it really that bad? Comes out to around $411 USD with the current exchange rate. The British price, on the other hand, is exceedingly high - over $490 USD (or $660 CAD).

... and as usual, people don't take into account that VAT is included in the UK price at 20%. The price in USD needs to have sales tax added, so perhaps you should rethink that. At a converted price of $490, nearly $100 of that is VAT, which makes the UK equivelent price $395!
