Lol what are we all forgeting? PS3 is outselling the 360 2 to 1 in Australia if I am correct (I think).

But do you think sony is making a profit in Australia? PS3 is made in a country just above australia (like malaysia and china and i think even vietnam it is manufactured in... so shipping costs to australia should be cheaper too?) am i correct here?

Oh btw I see ps3 being sold with little big planet for $610 in Australia. I also see them being sold for $650 with LBP and HDMI cable. They are NOT $690.

Do Australian prices already include sales tax, or is it added on top of them? If they're included, the price difference isn't actually a big deal, which I suppose has something to do with the fact that the Australian dollar has weakened recently (bringing prices down and closer to USA ones).
