Ah I see. That reminds me, my family and I vacationed in Barbados back in 2007, and I remember going into the equivalent of a Gamestop in the mall in Bridgetown. First off, they were still selling brand new PS1 games, OLD PS1 games (we're talking Twisted Metal 1 and Star Wars Rebel Assault circa 1995) for the US equivalent of anywhere from $40-$60. I was actually tempted to pick up a couple as collector's items, but decided it wasn't worth the dough. Anyway, they had just gotten PS3s in stock, and they were selling them for $600 Barbados, which is the US equivalent of $1,200.
So yeah, I feel your pain buddy.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
