This has to do with their electronics division, not their games.

1) This is for the UK only.
2) It may not (and probably won't) include the PS3.
3) VAT is going to drop by 2.5%, helping them a little bit.

This is the perect time for the UK to take up the Euro. Europe wants us to, economists want to, politicians want to. But we can't, why? Because Labour want to have half a chance of winning the (probably) 2010 elections.

Insteresting angle... "buy it while its still cheap"... "we´re raising prices"... "nothing must go"...

I like the way they are thinking... if they announce the PS3s price is goint up 33% January 1. christmas sales will be trough the roof...

Sony may not raise the price of items in their PlayStation portfolio, but this could delay or limit price reductions in the future.
