What is going on in your avatar? Is that you getting a lap dance from a stripper?

HiramAbiff · 01-26-2007, 10:07 AM

So, Glow, no defense for the high costs of the PS3 in other territories?

All I can say is- it's worth it.

ht_addict · 01-26-2007, 10:32 AM

Doing the exchange its only $773US and at that price its still worth it.

jjufon · 01-26-2007, 10:57 AM

Estimated price in the UK is 450 pounds.. that’s 832 USD.
I didn’t post this to dog the PS3 but only that others are having to pay so much more.

Seems they pay too much for a few things down under.

Well, I guess that is one way to win the format war.

Yahoo had a news story saying Sony is going to release the PS3 in Europe for 599 euros ($780), 425 pounds, almost ($830). Guess Sony is trying to make a profit the same day they launch.

dave33ca · 01-27-2007, 12:44 AM

I have seen the ps3 and must say its a pretty damn good machine, but for the most part the games suck, the blu-ray part is sub par and a 1000 bucks for that??? even in aussie country that is WAYYYYYYYY to much... hey glow what are you smokin?!?!?

dontknowjack · 01-27-2007, 03:04 AM

I have to say I am worried about Sony. Still I got to hand it to them, there must be enough people to pay that kind of price for Sony to still be around.

HiramAbiff · 01-27-2007, 07:06 AM

What are they paying for HD-DVD players in those territories?

EDIT:

I guess I just found out.
