$829 is still a joke of a price. The USD $499 price is only equivalent to about AUD $580 before tax. Add in 10% GST, and that's $638. I refuse to believe that it costs almost $200 more per unit to sell the things in Australia.
That should tell them something. When its cheaper to import the item from America then it is to buy it from the JB HiFi down the road there is a real problem with the pricing.
