Well I am from Europe ,in Spain ,and I can say you the Blu Ray movies are at the exact same price as the HDDVD ones ...and thats 24 euros not 42 .Already in the shops and at that price not more not less .
There are many people waiting here for the Playstation 3 and that have had many time to put apart money ....sales will be good even with the high price tag .Besides ,it remains to be seen if only the 60 Gb console will be released here .
I'm from Germany. And if you read my posting carefully you would've noticed that I converted the currency to Dollars already. I did that for better comparison.
If you don't believe me go to www.amazon.co.uk or .de and figure it out for yourself. Movies on BD simply ARE that expensive in the UK and in Germany.
I'm happy to hear that there are many people eager to buy a PS3 in Spain. But I just think that won't be enough for Sony to reach their own target of selling 6 Million PS3s worldwide until the end of march. Just look at Japan. 1 Million consoles shipped but only about 550k sold. And the PS3 is much cheaper there.
Japan has been a Nintendo country for a long time, and the PS3s that were shipped were in the "pipeline", meaning that they were just shipped. (And Sony probably added a couple hundred thousand to say that the ones that were in factories were "in the pipeline")
And there's only one game that's 9/10+ out now, and there won't be another one for another month or so...
Blu-Ray Discs in the U.S. were cheaper than HD-DVDs, but I think they averaged out in late 2006.
Anyways, I think that Sony should cut a hundred or so dollars off the PS3 in Europe, because it costs a lot more money than in the U.S.
