Jim: Your import tax on computers is about 20-25% isn't it? Import tax? No, not in Denmark anyway. We do have a fixed VAT of 25% for all goods and services, though. Still, it is interesting that MS thought it could get away with charging 60% (70% initially) more than the Playstation2 for their console here in Europe, while prices in the US were comparable for the two. Recent reports indicate, however, that MS have realized their blunder and intend to halve the price. You can always vote out the revenuers. ? -fyo
