Sales tax on e-shop games but not on psn? High pricing on eshop is crazy.

Ok i have had my 3ds since december, and went to check out the eshop.... when i went to buy something they added freakin tax on to the purchase... why?

When I get a game on PSN, i don't have to pay tax at all.

Not to mention the overpricing of nintendo games... why do old nes games cost the same amount as PSX games? Those games are shorter and in 8-bit so i don't get this at all. Yet games on PSN can last 50+ hours and cost the same as super mario bros 1? NIntendo is being greedy here. big time. And why are 3ds games like super mario land and zelda $40 on the store? Those games should be cheaper than vita games yet 1st party vita games I can get on release for $5 less on the store, $35. And they go on sale. I haven't seen one sale on this eshop. Nintendo sure seems greedy. With taxing and high prices for digital goods.

Complain to your state legislature.

Go to settings in the eShop, Location settings, and enter 90210 for your Zip Code. No more sales tax. You're welcome.charizard1605

I think since eShop was created in 2011 it might be a new law were digital stuff has sales tax based on your state. PSN was created before that law.

I have no idea if it is true it is the only thing I could think of that eShop has tax and PSN doesn't.

And why in the world should games like Super Mario 3D Land be cheaper than Vita games?charizard1605

It just depends where the eshop store is actually located.

I know Steam charges sales tax if you're a Washington resident as that's where Valve is located, and places like Newegg charge sales tax if you're a California resident.

"eShop Prices are outragous!"

Same game sold at the same price on other consoles.

The logic is sound.

Really that sucks... I always liked that there was no sales tax online. I live in Pennsylvania btw... which I am sure Nintendo doesn't have offices at. My address and zip was put in properly. This was the first and only time I have ever been taxed for a online purchase. Midnightshade29

I said EVERYTHING, sony overpricing 1 thing =/= nintendo overpricing EVERYTHING Least 5 years down the track, first party titles are still not FULL PRICEcampzor

Skyrim is still being sold for $60.

Why? that game is going on it's 2nd year now.

Because it still sells.

Same reason why Call of Duty games don't go to the $19 till their 4th year on the market.
