    Just looking at Crucial Radeon 9800 pro 128MB...

    On the Crucial website in the USA its €275.63
    On the Crucial website in the U.K its €327.39
    On Komplett.ie its €404.29

    Thats really shitty charging €uropeans more just because ........... fuckers ...

    Pisses me off every time I see that we are being taken for a ride for electronic components (ANYTHING with a transistor in it costs more in €urope)

    i agree,

    Ireland is crap.....

    Like you can buy DVD's in the USD for $10 USD. but in Ireland they are €30-€40 and you can get them shipped for free aswell.

    But it's not just dvd's and hardware, everything in Ireland is more expencive then the US/Europe,

    Thats why more and more people are shopping online. and not buyig from Irish Shops. they are chargeing to much,

    it is a rip but you gotta also consider the different VAT rates

    usa - don't know what it is.
    uk - 17.5%
    ie - 21%
