| Serious_frusting said: OMG americans are so cheap, this is not ment as a diss but it just opens my eyes how cheap your cost of living must be. For example USA PS3 = 299 USD UK PS3 = 397.277 USD which is 250 pounds People who are saying they will only get it at 200 USD just shock me. 200 USD = 125.00 GBP The current DS and PSP models are not even that cheap. The only gaming device selling for less than that here in the UK is the PS2 |
Here in Australia $USD1 = $AUD1 yet new games cost on average $100
A DSi XL costs around $299 here. That's $299 American too. People would spend less on a NGP than what a DSi XL sells for here. People posting on a video games forum would spend less on a NGP than a DSi XL.
Here's the difference, If you earn under $50,000 a year in Australia, you're classed as a low income earner. I'm guessing the average wage here is higher than in the US and you have to take this in to consideration.
