PS3 UK price

[Shifty Geezer]

Nope. So it's really a comparison of £425 = $800 inc. versus $648 inc.
Mmm, that sounds fair...

Still shows these companies dont pay much attention at all to conversion rates or the effects of taxes. MS did better this time around, but if you remember with the Xbox they initially did a 1:1 conversion and went £100 over the competition. Course later they gave anyone who paid the higher price the option of a free package if they came to a store with their sales slip which was nice. PS2 was a 1:1 conversion as well during its launch.

Of course companies pay attention to exchange rates! Especially huge corporations. That's the most worrying part. They know full well what £450 is in US$...

And what will the value of the US $ be in November/December? The US $ seems to be a little volatile at the moment.

Everything's more expensive in Britain. I would say 425UKP is actually better than expected.
