It's funny that they didn't lower the prices when the pound was super-strong last year. No, they just made a fat load of profit off us. This (the UK) is the only place where the PS3 is still $600. Stop ripping us off already.

 

"Profit" is probably not the best word to use when describing the PS3...

Well the initial cost of the PS3 60GB was about $850, but you take into account the loss of the emotion engine, and probable other cuts due to larger production, and it could come down to $800

In the UK, it launched at £425, which was then about $850, though if you remove if VAT it is about £350, so $700, so all that happened is that they lost $100 less than in the US
