As I said, I wouldn't put it past them. They regularly bash the Wii, and occasionally bash the PS3. Nowadays, professionalism is dead.

 

I've never heard of anything like that.  I'd be shocked if a good store in America bashed Wii and PS3.

Well, professionalism is dead in Sweden anyway, I guess. It's kind of the reverse of America, here, because I hear a lot of stories how employees at game stores bash different consoles. Here, I rarely hear an employee say anything bad about a console, but the "store itself" does.

Higher price must be something to do with Foreign Currency Exchange Rates so it would not really be a price increase.

Are we talking about areas or everywhere in the UK... I think I understand... (Though I don't ever like talking about price hikes) if it's limited to areas of the Europe (UK) but not throughout the entire region. (It's a currency thing)



Boycotting the following:

1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.

2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.

3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.

4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games.  If that were the case they'd own a PS3.

5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.

6. Boycotts: Their so lame.

Wait, who is talking about the UK?   BTW, Sweden and UK have different currencies.

i actually thought for about a month back that they may raise price somewhere. crazy huh

Im from sweden and i read this article. The comment wasnt too serious and the raise wasnt too much but just a couple of dollars so nothing to worry about.

This is absurd and untrue. Sony won't raise the price. If they do, SONY will not have a PS4, because their entire games industry would fail. This is laughable at best.
