<TROLL>Well, I prefer paying almost 300$ extra rather than living in the US ! </TROLL>

More seriously, self importing from the US would be a good idea, but you'd better hope you don't have to use the warranty !!

Maybe this is an opportunity to begin my lifelong dream as a smuggler.

Err wait, it would probably offset my profits just getting a plane or boat ticket over there.

Oui, c'etait un simple troll !
We had lots of problems in france, too, fortunately we got delicious red wine to forget them, hahaha. The south where I live is way more laid back, though.

I never put a single foot in the US yet, so I'll wait for that before making any -serious- comment ! :-)
I think both opinions French people have about the US, and Americans have about France are mainly stereotypes, and very few people really know what they're talking about (looking at your french, you might be one of them, cause it's not bad at all) . I've spent one year in Australia, which according to many people is similar to the US and I had a wicked time there ;-)

Paix !

Just having some fun with you Dinaiz and I envy that you spent a year in Australia, I would love to spend time in Australia and New Zealand.

j'ai pas de problèmes avec la belle France, en fait, j'aime la France beaucoup - il y a des problèmes partout, n'est-ce pas ?

Cool, it's a lovely place to live, even if french people there are a bit ... "special" ;-). I used to live in Antibes for 3 years, so yeah I have been quite a few times in Cannes !! But now I'm based in Toulouse.
