I live in the US, which doesn't have VAT, but if the game is being imported from Europe doesn't it still have the VAT imposed on the the distributors buying it? For example, if gamestop EU stocks the game and sells it to their subsidiary company in Australia wouldn't they have to pay the VAT?

I guess I'm just as baffled as you are if the price should drop that much when sold in your region.
