Wow lots of flaming going on here over this issue.
How about something along the lines of ... ... every single European market (i.e. country) is more like its own market at companies need to contract different vendors to sell their products (i.e. different national vendors).
So while in the US they all throw their stuff at Wal-Mart, BestBuy, WhatNot in Europe they need to go to all sorts of different stores that are present on a national level only (thank god there's no Virgin Stores in Continental Europe).
Could this circumstance add to the price tag?
I pulled all this strait out of my as* by pondering why there also is a price difference between the US and the Land of the Canuck.
