| justinian said: Fair enough. My argument wasn't to do with the quality of the thing, it was simply to point out that because something is out of a particular person's budget doesn't mean that those with the cash that want it won't buy it. But I can't argue with your point regarding HDMI 1.4 and the rest. You are right. |
I see...yeah I agree as well. People will always pay more money for something which convinces them that it deserves a premium.
It is somewhat strange that the price of this almost doubled compared to US price...when taking currency exchange in to account. I am aware that Euro price uncludes the tax while the 499 us still needs tax added.
Could it be that Sony as a brand is considered more premium in Europe compared to USA and they can get away with charging more?
