Guys, you do realise that Apple pays VAT on App Store sales, right?
0.89 is including 15% Luxembourg VAT. When you remove the VAT (0.89/1.15), it becomes 0.774, which according to XE.com is US$1.00127, which is about 1¢ more than the US App Store price of 99¢.
It seems Apple was just bringing the price brackets it in line with VAT and current exchange rates to be about equal with US prices. They did this a while back in the UK.
