No wonder there is no plan to cut the price of the PS3 in Japan, because it currently costs around $400 already.

60k yen = ~500$, noob.

In Japan they will be releasing a Hot Shot Golf 5 bundle for both the 20gb and 60gb models.

The prices are as follows:

20gb package - 51,980 Yen ($420 or £210)

60gb package - 61,980 Yen ($500 or £250)

Fantastic prices at the moment seeing as the 20gb model in the US has been discontinued and not even released in Europe, so a $100 reduction in the US will bring the cost down to a comparable $500 for the 60gb. So there is no reason why the UK price cannot be reduced to even £299, but will it???? I doubt it...I reckon it will come down to £349.


you've just given an explaination for not having any price drops here in Europe: we (unlucky european customers) are actually paying the price drop in north american market


I've not given an explanation for not having a price drop in Europe....I said that there is no reason why the UK price cannot be dropped.  If you can buy a 60gb model in Japan for the equivalent of £250 and will be able to do the same in the US for £250....then why should we still be paying £425 in the UK.

I'm sorry...but the public will not allow this to happen and will just stop buying them at all...unless there is a universal reduction of costs throughout the world.
