Americans actually usually get completely cucked on electronics prices, take the ps5 for example, $400 in the USA with no tax ($454 in Alabama), £350 ($450) in the UK, including 20% sales tax! Claim that PS5 as a work expense and you're paying around $370, or don't claim and appreciate your contribution to keeping a healthy, happy and not in prison population. In Japan it's 50k yen ($380) including 10% sales tax.
Then on top of that, you also get decent consumer protection in Europe (I dont know about japan) I just claimed £2000 off Amazon because a 35 month old pc water cooler unit burst a leak over around £500 worth of parts, using a legal system that cost me about £100 and fancy lawyers don't help win cases in UK small claims, if anything they are frowned upon.
