In the UK it will be £425, around $830. It's pure madness, no?

Yeah I see that now; after I posted and went away, I started thinking about the price difference and other factors and I realized that the price drop is stupid. What they should do is drop the initial price instead now that the chip isn't there instead of doing a "faster" claimed price drop a few months later (pardon me if my suggestion is a stupid or ignorant one, I admit I don't know much about how it overall works).

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

That's why stuff like Barbies Horse Race Adventure and Drake and the 99 Dragons saw precedent over games like Ninja gaiden and Jade Empire etc.

*sigh* Wow, I really don't know much about this stuff...what you said sounds like a rather plausible situation for the PS3 games too; I didn't think about this and it totally throws what I wrote out of the water, hehe.
