So the US price was already about 17% higher than our local price, a position that may have been taken in anticipation of the US tariffs.
How do the other international pre sales tax prices compare to the US? Is this pattern across the board or is Australia an anomaly?
£329.99 in the UK without VAT, which is ~$425. So a little less, but not a massive difference.
The retail price in Hong Kong is somewhat close to the US. Base costs HKD3450, which is about USD442
Same here. $630CAD, $442US. I'm sorry, but there's no way I'm paying close to that, Nintendo.
Interesting, maybe we are just getting a good deal.
