Why do UK gamers always get ripped off? I don't care about the price of the system - £220ish is fine, but £40 /game? I tend to buy my DS games new, and I don't know if I'll be able to afford many 3DS games.

VAT

The rise was 2.5% - that's no excuse for £40 games

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have said VAT and a extremely weak Sterling. Take VAT out of the game's price, and the relationship with the price in Yens is not that bad. 6090 yen would be, at today's exchange rate, ~£55 (VAT included)
