RR has in the past explained the dichotomy of 
pricing. Personally, I still wonder whether it is 
really necessary, particularly since the 
disparity between pricing in dollars and pounds 
is quite noticeable even before we Europeans are 
slapped VAT on top of that. Other resellers I 
deal with seem to manage single pricing.

In terms of buying at US prices, just visiting in 
the US might not help. If I am not mistaken, it 
is the billing address of your credit card that 
ultimately defines your product price and any 
additional taxes you pay.
