    Tough to answer. Want to narrow down the countries a tad? :D

    Most local Sony stores have set pricing, so it is all boiled down to country specific.

    cheers ...

    With the weak dollar , I guess, USA will offer best prices ?

    Cheapest Z model will is independent from the country, cheapest specific model is country dependent

    If you want to go the round of currency rate then yes - usa price is cheaper comparing to europe. But even with this, it is not always true. The same model would run very much neck in neck when taking vat, custom tax into consideration.

    cheers ...

    Are you after the latest model or do you not mind a older model? Are you also after one with the highest resolution 1600x900 or wouldn't you mind one with a 1366x768 res?
