Default Re: $A=$US - Are we getting ripped off?

No one has mentioned sheer volume of sales. The u.s and other countries enjoy lower prices, because the goods cost less, because the huge populations demand it more. Something like an RC car for example, for every one sold in aus, the u.s is probably selling 30. Same with games, movies, clothes etc. It is supply and demand and the manufacturers charge the dealers/wholesalers accordingly.
