It's not so simple. Especially in countries with very different economic
realities. An example in case would be Warcraft III (I don't actually have it
BTW). I read that in the US, the basic list price is US$59 or so (granted you
can find it for less). Here in Brazil, the list price is R$79. That's pretty
expensive by Brazilian standards, yet equates to about US$23. Give me a $10
rebate and boy will I be smiling. :-)
