I bougth my 62 MB hardy for $1100 (total cost: s/h + taxes etc.) from USA. For the same amount of $$ I could buy a 20 MB hardy *student price* here in Sweden. To be honest, I'm afraid that the big companies dont care about the prices, and that's why Apple and the gang can keep the high prices. But it's a good ground for growing software piracy!
