| naznatips said: Actually the PS3 is $405 for the 20GB in Japan and $485 for the 60GB, which makes this situation even more scary for them. They took huge profit losses to try and get the PS3 out at reasonable prices in Japan (they charge litterally twice as much in Europe). So yeah, there is no way Japan will get a price cut, they are already killing themselves to get it to the japanese at such a low price. |
They get hammered with Vat, in some place its +20%
They get screwd if the exchange rate is not in their favor.
They got to ship the damn thing, cheeper to get it in the stores in Japan then Europe.
They charge more becasue its costs them a hell of alot more to get them PS3s into European stores.
If they can sale 60GB PS3 at 499, selling the 20GB PS3 at 405 is not that big a deal as you make it out to be.
