One price as in you will pay exactly what the U.S. pays (+ or - any applicable trade barriers) properly exchanged into the domestic currency whether or not the standard of living/average salary of these countries citizens is 1/10th, 1/100th, 1/1000th, or worse of what an American makes or can afford.
Thailand recently hardballed them, and MS specifically gave that country discounts... leading other countries to believe they could renegotiate prices for their citizens and governments. |
