(Only) In US can you buy the n7 at 8GB USD199 (~RM610) & 16GB USD (~RM760) because only in US can you get full google play store content like movies, music, books, magazines, etc where google sells the content for profit.

In UK where google play is limited, the price of the N7 is higher.
8gb = GBP159 ~ RM791
16gb = GBP199 ~ RM990

So, 16gb selling here in malaysia for RM999 is as good as price as it gets ever.
