Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

HD DVD for 360 - 199 Pounds?

Even when you factor in the 2 movies it' s stll WAY too much.

That basically means it' ll cost $50 in the US.

LMAO!

What?! Don' t you know anything about conversion rates? The pound is always about twice as valuable as the US dollar.

Pathetic.

Lol, that just mean you dont know Evil Man

Zoy,Europe tend to pay twice as much as USA.
You can' t convert it from our currency into the American.

I mean how many here convert the EU price of ps3 into the American price?

Do anyone in USA say ps3 cost 800$+???

Using the current exchange rate, £1 = $1.86 but since the average minimum wage in the US is around $5.30 and £5.05 in the UK. That means that where the average miimum wage in the US is $5.30, if converted into dollars the average minimum wage would be $9.41.

That' s why things appear to cost more here. Generally.

So, if the exchange rate is 1.86 in favour of the £, then £199 is the equivalent of $370.

So in the UK the HD-DVD drive will retail for the best part of $400, and that' s seems bad at first, ...but then you need to divide the $199 by 1.86 to get the equivalent US expendature which is $106. So, for Evil Man going out and spending $100 is like me going out and spending £200. The only difference is that if i wanted to get dollars for a trip to the US, for every $100 i bought i would only be spending £53.



Still with me?!

Basically you can' t convert the £199 UK pricetag into $370 because you need to take other factors into account like the minimum wage in each country and the worth of the currency. It' ll no doubt retail for $99 in the States, but that' s the same to an American as £199 is to somebody living in England who only gets the national minimum wage.

Yes,for ex we pay so much more in taxes then you do in USA.
For ex what the democrats want you guys to pay in taxes for everything is not even near what those who hate taxes here still choose.

I mean our right-wing party wants even more taxes then democrats.

wtf?!

Oh no, no taxes for me buddy. I' m becoming an illegal alien, burning any record of citizenship in any country, and globetrotting trying to ditch the IRS.

I' ll live in Nepal for a bit, then leave for the slums of Moscow, let the beard fill out a bit and move to one of the Crapistan' s, (the light skin, abundant freckles and ginger hair will blend right in, I curse my european bloodline) and spend my days selling government siezed camels, AK' s and bootleg copies of the Harry Potter movies.
