In 2009 with the launch of mega-blockbuster PS3 exclusives: GT 5 and FF XIII. Both of those games will sell a huge amount of consoles at the attractive price of $299 US. By the end of 2009 PS3 to be reduced to $249 US, further increase console sales with more games being released on PS3. Another price cut to follow late 2010 dropping down to $199 US, increasing sales again. |
250$ COULD be intresting, especially if coupled with FFXIII. However, I'm pretty sure we'll get royally screwed here in europe and that the price will be 250 euros, even if that equals more than 380$ Seriously, if a company wants to make it big in europe they should learn to use conversion rates... |
Europe has huge taxes like VAT. So don't blame companies for all the high prices, blame your government. |
19% here in Germany 19.6% in France where i used to live until last year
How does that account for the 100$ gap? (yeah its a 100$ if you add taxes on the us version, the eu version comes with taxes included)
The fact is that regionalization screws EU big time, most companies seem to think that a crappy translation entitles them to charge outrageous prices (don't even get me started on the prices of windows in France)
