Yes, but you see.... the damn thing is already more expensive around here. Games too. And "more expensive" means it actually costs A LOT more than, for example, in the US - the suggested launch price of €599 corresponds to around $790, according to currency conversion. In the UK it will be £425, around $830. It's pure madness, no?

I wonder if Sony's planning to kill their supporters by making them laugh till they can't breath anymore. Because... if that's what they're planning to do I'm sure most of them will end getting a Wii instead

No, but really... they're probably doing this to Europeans because they think we have a greater sense of irony, or because following a very simplistic view they must be thinking that since we invented stoicism, cynicism and nihilism, we can easily convert ourselves to one of these and survive, while Japanese people would choose to commit seppuku and Americans would start a war about it. I don't know.

PS: no offence taken everybody... it's just that the whole question is frankly, as Crazy Redd would say, well... CRAZY!
