I can easily see a UK or PAL only price cut coming. Prices over there are ridiculous and they can probably afford to make a 25 or 35 pound or euro cut and still make profit. Nintendo cut the price of the Wii in Australia to be more in line with the US price. Sony probably will too.

that what im talking about i dont know why some arent understanding this

the HW is priced way higher in EU than in most other regions just look at PS move and its accessories its priced way lower in euro compared to US its the other way around for the HW, move is priced lower b/c the euro and pound are stronger than dolla so they can afford it and move is a new HW and sony dont want to mess things up with a high price

also MS did the same thing in 08 they had a price cut in late 07 WW than in EU only had another price cut in spring of 08 then again in fall of 08 i believe they went off sequence with there prices in mid 08 b/c sony just cut there price to $400 WW in fall of 07 and still had momentum through out 08 from it, MS didnt want to lose more market share to sony in EU

Not only is the price a lot higher than everywhere else, the the currency translation is heavily in Japans favor. Just a few months ago, Japan made lik an extra 30% off every pound and 23% off of every Euro compared to the yen.

They can definitely afford a price drop.
