Prices From Core Electronics (Australia) are:
No, we are not getting ripped off in Australia (well, not much). The Australian prices include 10% GST so a straight conversion of the 4GB US prices come to about $80, then you have to add 10% which makes it $88, which is not far from $94.95
The prices in the UK and US are:
- 1GB – £33 / $35 vs AUD $55.95
- 2GB – £43 / $45 vs AUD $66.95
- 3GB – £53 / $55 vs AUD $94.95
What will I use it for?
- VPN server for my home network
- Retro Arcade Gaming
- Media centre, especially since it can decode x265 streams
- Computer Security test of my network
I purchased the 4gb version ($95), the USB_C power supply and the Pi 4 case
