Update: Amazon.es is now open. As many online commenters are complaining, many products are significantly cheaper in Amazon UK and USA stores (especially electronics, cameras, dvds etc), but they are missing an important point. Amazon.es will still thrive here simply because it is in Spanish.
The new Amazon.es site will pick up all those new online Spanish shoppers whose level of English would never have given them the confidence to shop from the UK or USA Amazon stores, but will fall for the Amazon UI and shopping experience now they have it in their own language.

Well, now that there’s an Amazon, I’m willing to return.

Interesante. Buena suerte a Amazon digo yo. Si el servicio esta bueno y todo esta escrito en español, puede que sea mejor que otros sitios de todos modos.

I disagree. Have lived in UK and US and the reason why prices are higher in Amazon.es I would say is not because people don’t buy in other countries’ sites, but just because… electronics are more expensive in continental Europe than in UK, and even cheaper in the US!

yes that a good thing but I really wish Amazon starts in India too.
