all those are in euros so I don't think so, compared to exchange rates europeans get ripped off when it comes to gaming, so the retailers have more room to cut, more likely its a sign of europeans getting fairer prices


Nothing listed above was in euros......£ pound sign

We do get dogged though, quite alot. In order to have prices on par with Americans the price would have to be about £200, we paid £50 more than that prior to this drop, if retailers in US make profit at £200, it's no wonder that some are willing to get rid of their consoles for lower. Question is whether it's a case of overstocking by retailers or incoming price cut/remodel. But I don't know what to think, I thought I saw an article where the SCE CEO stated that it's more important to stay profitable than beat Microsoft? It could swing either way, I wouldn't be surprised if it's remodel but I really don't see what's new that can be added without screwing the older buyers.


Yeah it's ridiculous how much extra we pay in the UK, even the games are quite high priced, but I don't think its the stores making profit, I think its the Tax in this country.
