As a European (more specifically a Swede) I also often encounter these problems. iTunes store here does not have movies, they sell songs for (USD) $1,50. Local online shops even have them at $2. Full albums in stores cost $30 regular price.... (Now we have a ridiculously high VAT of 25%, but it doesn't explain the difference to 100%)

When will the online retailers realize that the web is global? Even if I can't buy things from them, I can still see the prices e.g. at Amazon and draw conclusions like that they really want their world to be divided to keep prices up.

(I have to add that my points above only applies to downloadable content since I can buy physical CD's from Amazon)
