Thread: The PS3 is going to be a real bargain in the UK!

Outs...200$ more. That will get many customers pissed off. Even thou they could
order one from states but they would have to order all the games too cos'
of different regional coding.
Yeah lets hope that atleast in Finland PS3 would be about 500-600€ with bigger HDD.

Well, back in the days of old and lore, games used to cost 100-200 dollars, so its not that surprising, also if you really wanted to look at it, 800 bucks is a bargain compared to what you would pay if they charged at price point, the hardware and packing would be over 1000 dollars, just like Microsoft, Sony is losing money on every PS3 it will make, Microsoft is losing money for every X-BOX 360 is sold, sooner or later, the lines of profit vs. sales will cross they will be making money. So before you talk about not it being expensive, remember your are getting a bargained compared to what you could have been paying. Plus, just wait 6 month s to a year like I am until Sony can release the 2 generation PS3's with some of the bugs worked out and some awesome games.

I can't afford the PS3 and then think about a second controller ... two games maybe ... other extras and online service. it keeps adding up too high.

The UK bargain? Sheesh!

I know they sell under the production price but the price of the 360 didn't increase that much compared to the huge difference with the PS3.

lewl this is nothing compared to the consoles here when they first released in U.A.E(Dubai), e.g: Xbox360 when it was first released, it was selling for 10k Dirhams ... which is like 3.7k U.S Dollar ... and many people who i know bought it and im getting both the xbox360 and the ps3 ... money is nothing compared to fun!.. yeh .. premium system 360and the 60 GB HHD PS3... :P
