Why not? Have a look at how many promotions they are in gaming stores, you get a PS3 and about 3 games for £300. Losing another £40 wont kill Sony, people will actually have the console though which means more software sales.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Lets say do decide to do that..... I for one would buy one because that is a sweet deal. For two I dont know if it is in the best interest of the sony corp. to make such a cut with out explination of good nature that people will not confuse them with that as a sign of going out of business.

How can France call our currency something different to what we call it? That doesn't make any sense.

But, yes, 1 GBP = 1 EUR for all practical purposes. Buy our stuff, please, it'll save our economy. We should join the Euro...

In france we call London, Londres ! We are like this ! Sorry !

Right well, lets hope for a boost in sales!

1 pound does not equal 1 euro just checked but pretty close.

£1.00 = Euro 1.05

Shame the brits don't get it at this price though!

In fact many people are realizing this ,in some forums I write many posters are buying games and consoles from UK stores to benefit from this good echange rate ....right now with the pound (live sterling its what we call the pound in all the non-english countries ) so low buying in UK online stores is the cheaper way possible .

Yes its bizarre but for all the latin-speaking countries of Europe (France,Spain ,Portugal,Italy ,Rumania) the Pound is the Sterling Livre and London is Londres ....thats the way it is !

I wouldn't call the gradual drop of the pound over the past few months "breaking news".
