So some stores has taken up prices from 850-930$ WTF IS GOING ON HERE?`?

I can understand that you wanna take some extra dollars for pre-ordering and try to make some dollars by the first who pre-order.

BUT THIS KIND OF MONEY?
I mean even 800$ is to shit the consumer in the face but even beyond that? WTF=?!

Sony can fuck themself.

The UK price will be £425 which going off todays exchange rates is the equivlent of $809.

Looks like some European countries are going to get hit harder than us. That sucks!

In PL it' s about 850-USD.We always get shitty prices so I' m not that shocked :)

MS is the only company that kept prices in similiar range globally.For that I like them a bit :)

Majik xbox360 premium cost here around 3500-3700 kronor.

One of the biggest webshop here in Sweden takes 6800 kronor for their Ps3.

Basically it cost almost the double...

2 xbox 360premium for one ps3.

WTF IS GOING ON!!!!!!

costs 600 euros here..

600euro is 800 usd

Isn' the ps3 region coded free?

Isn' the ps3 region coded free?

That' s what they said initially. Hasn' t been mentioned since and there are no details concerning region specifics in the official spec sheet.

Plus, i wouldn' t exactly fancy risking importing it as a) i wouldn' t have a valid warranty, b) would have to risk the possibility of it being damaged in shipping, c) would have to pay a premium import tax when it got to my door, d) would have to piss about with voltage adapters, and e) would have to import every Blu-Ray movie as they will be region encoded.

It' s hardly worth it for the sake of £425, which i might whine about but really isn' t all that much to me for a new games console. I spent the best part of a grand when i bought my 360 and there aren' t loads of games i want for PS3 that' ll be there at launch.

Majik are you so uneducated that you don' t even know that xbox360 is regionsfree?

In fact games like farcry,blazing angels and condemned works in on every 360 console.

However its the developers who been putting on the regionscode.

I have no idea why sony adv this,it would be one thing if they forced publisher to make every game regionsfree,but themself has just promised their own games will be.

Yes like God of war3,Killzone2 and genji2 for ex.

Actualy, with the 360... ALL the crap uninteresting games are region free..

As i said its the publishers fault

and you call me a FANBOY

Quez, what does 360 have to do with PS3 being region free?!

I have US versions of DoA4 and RR6 so yeah i know the console isn' t region locked but Sony has said that all PS3 games will be region free and it' ll only be region locked for movies.

Personally i don' t believe it. Publishers like the monopoly they have in Europe. Saying that, PSP games are completely region free so it' s possible.

Have you finished n3 yet?
If not ,call me sir N3.

No,its not a joke,sir n3 plz.

Wii is supposed to have region encoding (if it' s going to have any) in it' s upgradable firmware and Nintendo said they realise that part of DS' es succes was it' s global approach.I hate those region blockades.

Since all games are in HD now , it' s easier to make them multiregion.No Pal/NTSC bullshit.

600euro is 800 usd

then whats your problem? you knew ps3 was going to cost that since e3.

Actually it' s 780 USD.

And that i thought was just too much ,i mean TOO MUCH.

If you gonna add 150$ more then its like WTF??!??!?!?!

Seriously, if you can' t afford one, don' t buy one, if you can afford one but think sony is taking the piss, don' t buy one.. It' s as simple as that. Sony aren' t forcing you buy a ps3.

i can see the kids in schools now... you have a 360? your family is so poor you can' t even afford a ps3... you cheap, poor bastard etc etc... kids can be so cruel...

Of course they are forcing us to buy it.. You don' t put wicked exclusives on an
over-priced console... That and some of us need an underground bunker!

Uumai you think that 800-930$ is an okay price?

No,im not gonna get a ps3 until 2008 now,IF i can see a reason to get it then.
