It’s taken a few months, but the Australian arm of Logitech has finally announced the Australian availability of their 700 and 900 Harmony universal remotes. And they’ve been a little heavy handed on the Australian gadget tax as well…
The 700, which we first heard about in September, costs $US150 overseas. Here, it’s $300. The 900, which Jason reviewed back in August, sells for $US400 in the States. Here, it’ll set you back $900.
I’m not going to spend time ranting about copping the short end of the stick on international gadget pricing again. I’ll just suggest you shop around online – there’s no reason why the US version wouldn’t work in Australia…

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 10:38 AMha ha, what a Joke. I purchased my Logitech Harmony One for $200.
I don’t know why anybody would pay this much for the 900. What a joke.

but I think you will be able to get a decent discount here. (just don’t got to HN!)
