Not to turn this into a regional billing gripe, but thsi shit is just one big scam and anyone using it should be ashamed.
Whenever it's brought up, people always tout the "big guys do it, like Apple, Dell, any frikken bricks and mortar international shit", whereas that shit does not fly in porn. You seem to forget that for those bricks and mortar guys, the US$ price is VAT exempt as you don't pay VAT cross-state, whereas their regional billing prices must include VAT, which is anywhere from 15-25%.
*that* is why regional billing prices seem higher, because of the included VAT.
And porn companies use it why again?
To make more $ and screw the end user.
Unless of course you are paying VAT in far-away lands.
