Why is PC hardware so expensive in Japan? I just checked a website, and supposedly 2GB of 667MHz DDR2 ram is 11000 yen. What the fuck?!!? You can buy 8 GB of DDR3 1600MHz for that price where I live! What gives? Isn't Japan like a technology giant? I would of thought PC hardware would be really cheap there.

Pic totally unrelated

If you need hardware why don't you buy it near you then? Or was this just out of curiosity?

I can find you sites that sell you overpriced hardware in USA as well. What's your point?

I'm pretty sure the website cannot possibly overprice the hardware that much.

Never underestimate the power of overcharging stupid people.

Isn't that around like $130? Should be reasonable.

Except the difference between a normal HD cable and a Monster is huge. It's not overcharging when there's that big a difference in quality.

You won't notice a difference between an overpriced Monster cable versus a normal HDMI cable.

It's like buying Alienware versus building your own computer.
