...ok time out....the ps3 is 700 bucks in Austraila? Who would buy that in that price?

awww~ c'mon. I know you can figure out by yourself that the australian dollars isn't equal to the american.....

also, price are made according to the general wealth of a state

Still 700 x .835= 584.50.....compared to the 400 we pay now?

The rest of the world subsidizes gaming in the US.  Please don't ask any questions.  We shouldn't discuss this further.

Well we do have a 10% GST added into that, so its more like $520 US, but yeah essentially we do get screwed repeatedly when it comes to console prices... 360 and PS3 games retail for $120 when theyre released here, which is more than $90 US even after you take out the tax. It was way worse when the AUD was buying .95 US though..
