I get that we pay more, I accept that, it's economies of scale, but what annoys me is when we pay more AND don't get the same as other regions? When X brand USA and X brand UK include free extras from the manufacturer themselves with gear, and we pay more than them but still don't get that? I don't want to turn this into a brand war of X vs Y, which is why I have kept it generic, but sometimes I feel like us Australian consumers are treated like we're sub standard consumers.
