SmartHouse is a consumer technology website that deals in news and reviews for all the latest smartphones, tablets, wearables, TVs and sound products.

Another Australia related news item, again highlighting the price differential between here and in the US. The LG GGC-H20L drive is said to have a recommended retail price of $AUD 799 ($USD 699), yet the same drive has been available in the US (for quite a while now) for only $USD 270:

So how come Australia has to pay 2.6 times the US price, even though we are closer to Asia where this drive was most likely made?
