this isn't new news surely? For decades we have been paying ott prices. anything you by in america can be purchased for the same here, BUT IN POUNDS. (double)

We get mocked because we are mugs, we never stand up, same as with anything, "oh hi, MR. asylum come here and have a free life and money"

Sony PSP was different, that was open to all regions, hence i bought one when they were released in japan, but cant see the point with the PS3

It's the same with any new console though....wait a few months and the price will drop, just like the PS2...I'll be getting one on release day here (If I can) and expect to pay £450 - £500+ for the privalige...as others have said on other threads, that's a good price for a blu ray player alone!

Sometimes though price doesn't make a difference on the games market, just look at the dreamcast, amazing console, first to be online, free online game posted to you if you registered, memory cards and pads with display that still outdate todays consoles, 128bit and top games like virtua tennis, MSR and dead or alive. Not too mention the best Resident Evil version.

They sold it cheap and still lost out. What people want they will get. £100 or so difference won't matter,. Lets wait for Gran turismo etc etc....

the play one does include 3 games though

so normally console price will be £100-£150 less perhaps
