It's not deal of the century, but a PS3 + Ratchet & Uncharted for £349 aint bad if you were planning on getting those games anyway. My question, though is; Is SCEE & SCEUK offering a good enough deal to boost PS3 sales in Europe during the post holiday period? Seeing as software costs them next to nothing (although admittedly they lose out on potential future software sales) I'd have thought a £329 price point would shift units a hell of a lot quicker. Then again, maybe they're content with the level of sales as it is in Europe and want to become profitable as soon as possible. With larger profit margins and sales I'd imagine SCEE will be the first region to turn a profit on the PS3 ahead of SCEA and SCEJ.
