Sony Cuts U.K. Out of European PSP Price Slashing

[teebeeohh]

but Britain isn't part of Europe. They are a bunch of weird people living on a island off our coast and eat strange food. and they use ancient money.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Hah, the UK always gets ripped off.

Example; Microsoft's £1/$1 conversion ratio for its OSs.

"Since we in the UK are vulnerable to two exchange rate calculations, pounds into Euro's and Euro's into Yen, we are not in a position to offer a similar cut in PSP for the UK."

Curse anyone who tries to exchange straight from Yen to GBP.

 

[Woodsey]

Eh, its only £15.

Yet another example of us poor brits getting shafted when it comes to the price of gaming : (

Not really - I'm pretty sure a lot of publishers price in favour of us rather than Europe (on Steam at least, retail is nought but a far away place these days), and EA are now charging $60 for PC games, whereas they're still £30 over here.

oh no sorry arent we in enough trouble with british pound vs the euro sorry i guess we are not the nation that needs handouts sony so go somewhere else.

All the Brittish friends I have keeps saying England isn't part of Europe.
Now I get to point and laugh at them.

I've heard that a lot and I just don't get it. Why are the British against being grouped with Europe.

 

[Cousin_IT]

We'll have the last laugh when Spain implodes & brings the Euro down with it *monocled laugh*

 

[Treblaine]

So this isn't REALLY a price cut, Sony is just making adjustments for exchange rate.

Maybe this shouldn't be treated the same way as a price cut in the popular sense of the company thinking they will make more money selling each unit for a lower price.

I smell the smelly smell of bullshit EU regulations preventing what would seem such a logical action.

Imagine the Canadians being called "Sort of Americans". Or Texans being "Basically Mexicans".

Looks like the brits actually had it much cheaper when the PSP still actually mattered.

 

[Musiclly enhanced]

thats like £15? not much tbqh if it was like a massive price cut say like 50 then i would actually be annoyed

This doesn't make much sense. Both Mexico and Canada are in North America, the British Isles are in Europe

It's not all of us. I would say that about 75% of British people consider themselves European too. It's just that the anti European crowd are a lot louder.

I'll wait for the Canadians to get back to you on that. How big would you like your coffin to be?

This would probably piss me off if I hadn't bought a PSP and wanted one, but I bought one at lauch...
