>Typical Sony greed. US$199.00 for the PSP Go, Vs A$450.00 is just gouging consumers. I hope Sony suffers.



LOL, such ignorance. I suppose the AUS $420 for Wii also "typical Sony greed"?????

Not sure where you are getting your figures from because I bought a Wii at launch for $388 AUD and that was nearly three years ago. At that time 250 USD was worth $328 AUD. Admittedly it hasn't dropped much in price since then but that's a whole other discussion.

Having said that the Wii is also much more expensive than it should be currently given that 200 USD is currently worth about $215 AUD. 

No matter what way you cut it though, setting a recommended retail price of 450 AUD (417 USD) for a handheld system is not a good move and is just inviting failure.
