Don't forget that the 24 month warranty is one of the stated reasons for justifying the sale price difference for the same product between the US and the EU.

If it's increased, manufacturers will just increase their EU prices so that their costs will be covered.

The price difference seems mostly due to advertised prices.

In the US they advertise the price excluding tax, in the EU we advertise the price including tax.

When counting taxes, there isn't a big difference.
