What? Just the 60 Gb version How much? £425 (Which given the current exchange rate is $836.41 Yes, THAT much, over £100 more than you lot pay) So, now you know... are you going to get one? |

So. Buy Sony? *Xkeeper mashes button No. ... Hell no. Seriously, this is like a giant ripoff and I'm almost betting it's just to piss all over Europe and Friends for that little import incident, which makes no sense but then again Sony doesn't either. |

| The worst part is, you sound upset about only having 2 months to save up. You should be upset that to get such a horrible system you have to pay an ungodly amount of money. | |||

I wouldn't need to worry though. Since I already have over £3400 I think, and I get between £200 and £400 a month  . |

| Nonetheless, that is massive price gouging and an alienating move on Sony's part. For shame! | |||

| I was being sarcy about the saving up, I'm moving house, so buying a PSP GAME right now is a luxury, besides, my sister's boyfriend and I are teaming up to get a Wii first | |||

| Doesn't everyone gouge a *little* bit on the Europe release?
Of course, Sony can't really afford to be gouging prices right now... unless they're trying to make back some cash.  |

| Ah, but you see Colin, us UKbies are being "Gouged" that little bit more, the price in Mainland Europe is 599 euros, which is £400, so why add the extra £25 on there? | |||

| Please do not forget that the prices for Europe contain VAT and other stuff.
We Swiss people gonna pay CHF 898.90 for it (About USD 722.17) (As if I would buy one). (edited by PrincessPeach on 01-25-07 01:09 PM) |

And Ireland has the highest tax so they're getting gouged the most. 
It's still way too expensive as a gaming system and probably will be for most of this year. |

| A price drop of at least 20% is necessary in order for the Ps3 to really get back into the game. Something really big. Otherwise, Nintendo and MS price drops will just kill them. | |||

| Yeah.
I don't have the source on me at the moment, but yesterday I read somewhere 58% of retailers (maybe just in the States) have PS3's in stock. At such an early time like now, two months after its release ... I'd say that's not very good at all. Wii's are a completely different story, very hard to find, and I'm sure everyone can remember how hard it was to get a 360 for the first handful of months it was out. Sony, really needs to do something here. edit: http://www.psu.com/node/7287 (edited by Racer Xeo on 01-25-07 01:51 PM) |

| Totally, I've been hearing conflicting sources. Joystiq is citing a Bank of America report saying that 76% of stores have PS3 in stock. | |||

| Might as well just import a PS3 for less money. Shouldn't be too hard; at least I know that Fry's and Fred Meyer have plenty of PS3s for everyone that wants one (almost zero). | |||

| They should totally just come by and sweep up all these extra systems here in USA and give them out in UK. It would have came out faster there if it weren't for us getting stock piled with all of it. | |||

| Sony is like everyone else in the 7th gen, there's no regions on the PS3. | |||

| They adjusted the price of the PS3 in Canada... from $659 to $699.
The comedy continues. |
