Man You Aussies really are getting the shaft. I got my Phat + inFamous for NZD$698. Convert that to Aussie $$ and it comes out to something around AUD $620-630. Next time someone comes for a holiday to NZ they should pick one up.

If the 25% price cut translates to at least a 20% price cut here then I'm pretty sure I'll be able to convince at least 2 or 3 people to buy a PS3, including someone who was eyeing up a 360 because of the price (i.e. would have preferred to get a PS3 but not at the previous price difference).

Hey Binary, can you quote me the RRP in NZ? I'm more interested in the RRP as a price point comparison guide... thanks!


Advertising material says $629 RRP with special limited launch price of $599 for Slim. Phat used to be quoted as RRP of up to $779 but there were always bundles and specials for less. $729 was a common price flashed in front of people bundled with 1 or 2 platinum games.

Interesting price comparison table. What one needs to figure out though is whether the prices quoted include or exclude sales taxes. For us the price advertised (and the RRP) always includes a 12.5% sales tax (GST). What about Aussie does the $499 include Aussie GST? But I understand in other countries RRPs always exclude sales taxes esp like in the USA where local sales taxes vary from state to state. Is the UK price inclusive of VAT? I imagine the Eurozone price doesn't include sales taxes, if there are any, in each of the Eurozone countries. Is the japanses price inclusive of sales tax (is there one)?

279 changed guess it was to get rid of stalk they had.

299 now. a just and fearful price.



We Brazilians get screwed when buying both hardware and software. 360 is official here, and it costs 850 dolars, games we can get at small stores for 100$ the release and 70$ an old game. At big stores you could find PES 2009 for 200 dolars.

All aussie quoted price includes GST, does uk have VAT? I thought that was continental europe only?
