It turns out Australians are being charged up to double the price of the US and Britain to download music, movies and games from Apple's iTunes.
An album can cost $10.99 on Australian iTunes compared with $US6.99 for American customers and £5.99 in Britain.
A movie can cost $24.99 in Australia, compared with $US14.99 in the US and £9.99 in the UK.
Popular game applications are also more expensive. Street Fighter IV is £2.99 in Britain, $US4.99 in the US, but it's $5.99 in Australia.
Apple also DO NOT return calls.
Christopher Zinn of consumer group Choice said the practice was disgraceful.
"We are going to put a submission to the Productivity Commission because we do not believe there should be differential pricing on digitally delivered products" he said.

I know for sure if I ever bought anything from iTunes I sure wouldn't shop there again! BAH with you Apple!!
