Huh..That little Ps3 looks very nice..Would get one if I could afford it and didn't hate consoles.
To be fair. That price includes VAT.
In America a lot of places will advertise the $299 before VAT is added to the overall cost.
£250 for a PS3 sounds alright consdiering a Wii is £200 (Price went up twenty quid because of a weak pound) and the Elite, which costs £220.
My only beef is the fact the PSPgo is £230...

Explaining the global economic context is small comfort to us brits. Regardless of the strength of the pound, we're still having a meagre price reduction when compared to the proportion of the price being sliced off elsewhere. What makes it even more irritating that the price was effectively £280 for the last few months before the Slim was announced.
Was it entirely necessary to flame another console company? Or is it just a nervous reaction?Pendragon9 said:
But your cooking is AWFULLL! Actually you people don't even know how to eat properly! I know a person who owns a restaurant in London and the most requested dish is fish'chips or cod fish with something, even when she can cook great portuguese dishes for a bargain! You couldn't spot good food even if it was punching you in the face!The_root_of_all_evil said:
British people have no tastes in food. The only thing close to that is a chef that curses alot and calls everyone a Donkey.
BAD FOOD I TELL YOU! JOIN THE EURO!
It always amuses me whenever someone mentions british cooking they immediately claim it's all bad but i've yet to find another country who's food is all that much better. it's food, who gives a shit if it's all fancy and in small portions or spicy or in large portions or whatever. It's food not art.oliveira8 said:
Why would joining the Euro mean our food would improve? would our fish and chips taste nicer because they cost more?
Until the PS3 hits the same price as an Elite 360, or a few quid more, I don't think sales are going to get any higher. I would like a PS3, but funds is all that are holding me, and most likely a lot more people back. Very few buy a PS3 for ONE game.
I pointed out the broken maths beforehand, so I was expecting an explaination here. So long for that, so I'll theorise.
It's because they can. UK is a bit richer than other countries (less so because of that twat Darling), so we can shell out a bit more than others. Regional lockout with the consoles forces us to do so a bit, and perhaps Sony can test the water with the 360 going up in price for other economicexcuses reasons.

I'm well within my rights here. You actually don't think they price gouge? You need a reality check. Besides, it's no use defending a company that couldn't give a crap either way. Now, when they offer to fix my broken computer at a pricer lower than the cost of a 2006 PS3, then I'll rethink my statement.Nerf Ninja said:

I was under the impression that flaming, whilst tolerated was frowned upon here.
Actually I just checked the rules. It's not tolerated.
There's a difference betewen good and fancy food. And there is neither in the UK. Mhahhaha!Nerf Ninja said:
And while the Euro made things here more expensive compared to Escudos(The old coin in Portugal) you got more money in larger quantiteis without knowing.
