dman: blakamin, are you personally in Australia now or viewing it via an Australian proxy (like was given earlier in this thread)? That could be the reason. Damager, lol they are sooo lost in the second video! The ending is funny too. I live in Adelaide...

I was in the US Google store, pre-ordered and got as far as the checkout. Shipping was going to be $13 for two day and then (thought not yet chosen) there would have been California sales tax at 8.5% or so which would make the price about US$230. That was purely out of interest since I don't plan to buy one.

Hmmm... so ordering it in Australia (if I get a friend to bring it across for free) is for the 8GB model ($19 delivery): 269 Australian dollars = 342 New Zealand dollars While shipto will be very roughly (199+13+28): 240 U.S. dollars = 303 New Zealand dollars So about $40, that is a surprisingly clear difference between the two (and the difference is even greater if I go for the 16GB model, which I still don't know if I should??).

i am actually considering the 16g model now since MicroSD is not supported some google cloud products eg. google music 20,000 tracks free storage etc services are not available in nz so lots of google services are US only really the device will mainly be used for media, ebooks, magazines, pdf, working docs, emails etc My concern is 8G might not be enough, 16G might be the right choice Cheapest Online Bookstore Free Worldwide Delivery http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/?a_aid=lhou021 MOBILE: Motorola Defy (Quarx JB 4.1.2) TABLET: Samsung Galaxy tablet OTHER: Asus laptop + Samsung ChromeBook

wanghou168: some google cloud products eg. google music 20,000 tracks free storage etc services are not available in nz Just sign up through a proxy; Once you have activated and uploaded something, it works fine from NZ, no proxy required. At least it did when I signed up. I think I just used the Tor browser to sign up.

Seems like the higher price is not just Australia but the UK too: 159 British pounds = 313 New Zealand dollars 250 Australian dollars = 318 New Zealand dollars 199 U.S. dollars = 252 New Zealand dollars Took a look at PriceSpy to take a peek at what is currently available in NZ, I sorted it by popularity (thus sending all the junk ones down to the bottom...) then scanned over the entries to pick out the cheapest: http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?j=888173,1159222,915040 Aside from the smaller screen and lack of a microSD card I'd say the Nexus 7 has all of them beat! (or at least holds its own and is comparable) And even though I picked out the "cheapest", they're still $500+ each.
