Sorry, troll, but you're wrong. I have spoken with both the retailers
and the wholesalers and, well, they are told by MS what the minimum is
that they can charge. Both MS and the retailers/wholesalers think that
your average EU consumer won't know it's more expensive here than in the
USA.

One would think that a "marketing genius" like yourself would know how
to spell "wholesalers".
