I agree, and this is my point. In the UK supermarkets are selling DVD
players for £49 (equiv. $70-$75 or so?).

What we buy for £49, the Yanks usually buy for $49 :-(

and dont forget thew mail in rebates too

I just bought a Western Digital 160gb harddrive for $199 comes with a $100
rebate,
so $99 final price, which is 60 quid or there abouts, rip off Britain
anybody?
