I thought PB used to have honest pricing?

US dollar, import costs, small margin. They're a business and not a charity.

Parallel Imported, only current importer (well, at least biggest), provision for honouring CGA, etc etc etc...

It all adds up and also lets them milk it for profit, the exact same thing happened with Chromecast 1 (although it was more $79).

Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

So they are probably making around 30% margin, sounds about right for local business
