The God of War bundles in Europe made me wonder, is it possible Sony is allocating as much stock as possible in Europe right now, leaving America to be understocked?

This could be justified both because things are usually more profitable in Europe (consoles more profitable, currency stronger) and because the HD marketshare war is so much closer in that region. If you've got a shortage, it might make sense to make sure you can get ahead as much as possible in one region, rather than catching up a tiny bit in another.

Just a random thought.

You might be onto something. Did you know that not only is the ps3 more expensive in Europe, but that Sony makes 30 22 yen on every euro?

 

1 Euro = 122.831092 Japanese yen

 

1 British pound = 137.115491 Japanese yen

270 pounds for the ps3 in UK. = 370,00yen pre ps3. = 340$ US
