T those not in the know. UK pricing of PS3 is shocking right now.
The cheapest model being £249.99.
For example it has a smaller HDD than the 360s and a wifi not as good.
Yet the 360s is £199. I bet Sony drop the price of the 160gb to £199 in UK.
They have to. Because that would level the price but still have a smaller HDD.
We shall see.

and the ps3 has a 3D blu ray player.. which makes value completely irrelavent
|
Not really. Bluray isnt that big in UK at all. The prices of the actual Films are to high, and Broadband is very attainable.
I dont know anyone with a Bluray player. Except my one friend who has a PS3.

You said the same thing in a thread only a short while ago:
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=113134&page=1
Many posters then provided replies showing evidence to the contrary. Yet here you are posting the same stuff again.
Also, as for the anecdotal evidence. Do you really think your circle of friends buying habits are a strong indication of the UK's as a whole?

OK.
1. Noone provided any evidence to the contrary.
2. Retail prices on the high street of UK for BluRay ( not online prices ) are around £15 average. FACT.
3. The floor space is minimal for BluRay movies in UK
4. The RRP for PS3 on ths high street 'IS' £249.99 at the lowest. And this is what GAME and the rest sell it for.
I'm not sure what your trying to achieve, but my original point stands. In the UK PS3 isnt really important. And the price is not helping especially considering you get less for the money and BluRay hasnt really taken off here.
My point? Sony need to at least match the 360s price in the UK with PS3 lowest model to even start helping it here.

So the 360 FINALLY makes a big HDD mandatory (even though there are still 4GB arcade models) and now all of the sudden, the PS3 gets less for your money. So the free online, wifi FROM THE BEGINNING BUILT IN (lol trying to say the wifi is worse), BluRay, etc value just went down...because the 360 got a bigger HDD?

I'm not having a dig at the PS3. I'm talking about how UK customers percieve the value. The PS3 is already on the backfoot in UK. Therefore the 360s revision withit's price will only further that issue unless Sony do something.
