    Pathetic.

    Price of a Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra 30 GB

    Ireland
    Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra 30 GB IN STOCK € 331

    Germany
    Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra 30 GB am Lager verfügbar 317 €

    A real stinker, considering Switzerland is one of the worlds wealthiest nations.
    Switzerland
    Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra 30 GB am Lager verfügbar 466 CHF (298.945 EUR)

    Think our price is bad? The poor Portuguese really get hammered.

    Can anyone justify these prices?

    At least some of it (not including the Portuguese price) can be explained by the different VAT rates

    16% VAT in Germany (€273.55 + 16% = €317), 21% VAT in Ireland (€273.55 + 21% = €331), 7.4% VAT in Switzerland (€273.55 + 7.6% = €294.44, but the conversion to Swiss Franks will depend on the rate that's current at the time of conversion).

    Don't know about the price in Portugal, but it looks suspiciously like the "Public Price" that's displayed on the Irish page. (And it's in line with the price on the Italian and Spanish pages).

    There really should be a sticky explaining the VAT rates so people dont get carried away every time they see a difference in price between here and Germany or wherever.
