$1.69 per song. Hmm, doesn't quite have the ring of 99c per song
does it?
So we have the following breakdown:
USA = 99c (A$1.32)
Europe = 99euro (A$1.58)
Australia = $1.69
Japan = 150 yen (A$1.73)
UK = 79p (A$1.87)
Japan (2nd tier) = 200 yen (A$2.31)
So I guess we're about middle of the road.

Don't forget in the US that 99c has sales tax put on top when you
purchase (since taxes vary from state to state). I got caught out on
that on the very first item I ever bought in the US. Handed over $20
as the item was advertised $19.99, then got stung an extra couple of
bucks at the counter!
The $1.69 was the price when the backdoor was open in April. And no
Sony/BMG artists or tv shows. Guess they just couldn't quite get Sony
over the line (here or in Japan). Let's make Sony pay for the
ignorance!
