That is a dirty trick. Why do not they use yen or dollars. The 299 PSX was way overpriced. What the article tell us is that UK is not getting screwed so much in exchange rates like in 1996. I would like a real comparison like how much beer you could buy with U$ 300 and now with U$ 600. A comparison for Japan would be nice too (maybe some Tea).

Personally, i still dont get that creepy baby doll commercial. All I get from that commercial is that I am going to die if I dont buy the PS3.

Well, when I got the PS1, I was 18 and I drank Milwaukee's Best. Now I'm old and I drink good beer. I could buy far less good beer for $600 than cheap beer for $300, even now.

If you look at the inflation for the U.K from 1995 to 2006 it was about 33% so that 300 in 1995 would be about 399 today still giving about 25£ advantage to the PS3 in cost or about 18£ in 1995. For comparison in the U.S. it launched at $300 which would be about $410 today. If you look at the 6 month data on this site you can see that after one year of selling at that 300£ price it had sold only 1.78 million in PAL countries 2.5 million in America and although it gives the PSone about 3 extra months of sales time about 2.45 million in Japan. Also keep in mind that this was also most of the time only competing with the Sega Saturn for your gaming money. One comparison I think kind of drives in home on how much Europe kind of gets screwed on this is this though is this 600 dollars in 2006 would be about $455 in 1995 for the PSone add to that the 599 charged to the majority of Europe right now is about $800 in U.S. dollars and the 425£ is about 845 U.S. dollars.
