£329 launch in the UK? it was £425

i stopped reading

Straight exchange rate. So we in the UK were royally screwed over at the PS3 launch

if it had been that price it would be number 1 in the UK and i would have to 1 at launch and not 8 months after :( 

i hope PS4 is £299

Yeah I know I would have bought my PS3 much sooner if it was £329 right off the bat. £299 is the same price as the Wii U Deluxe currently, so I think that's a bit hopeful. So I see £350-£400 (maybe both these values if there's two seperate bundles as rumours are suggesting) then I could see it doing rather well here in the UK.

I maintain that it all comes down to pricing.

You think all those FIFA/COD guys will jump at that price? If Sony or Microsoft can really grab that type of gamer then they take the UK. Those gamers have such a massive domino effect.

Not really. But I think the die-hard Sony fans will be much more inclined to bite at £340 than £440, for example. I know I wouldn't be tempted at £400 or over (I simply can't afford it), but £340 gives me something to think about.
