They seem to be. Did you actually try?

He has a point though. An American company has no obligation to reduce the price of its product any further just because some European government jacks up the price like that. He should blame his government if he doesn't like it.
Lol, are you seriously acting as if customs duty is somehow exclusive to europe and that governments are just "jacking" up prices for fun or out of greed or something?

It looks like they are just pushing the preorder shipment date back.  

Not actually sold out.  

The date now says May.  

Just because people are offering it for 1500$ doesn't mean they are actually going to be sold for that price.

are you seriously acting as if taxes in europe are a lot higher than elsewhere?  VAT is what,.. 20%?  in the USA it would be more like 5%.  that "jacks" up the price a lot.

Someone is going to pay that.

Pricing in Europe is high.

Compared to what you usually see from U.S. based companies.

No, actually I'm not. What I'm saying is that these taxes aren't just charged willy-nilly without reason.

He never said it happens for no reason.  
But those countries do very different things, and thus have different demands.  So it's not unexpected that the prices will be different, because for example taxes are very different.  

European countries typically have far higher sales taxes, and they also include it in the prices.  US doesn't do that.  

Appearance price.  
US - 100$
EU - 120$

Actual price
US - 105$
EU - 120$

basically this.

it's a personal pet peeve when european guys complain about how much things cost there.  oh sure,. the ps4 cost you $50 more but my family pays almost a thousand dollars a month for health insurance.   how much do you pay for that!?!?
