As a lot of gaming companys have noticed that gaming attracts money to there buisness. And that if they make a succseful game money will come rolling in!

But sometimes it goes to far. I think putting a game console at £300 is ridiclous. This is only going to put people off buying a PS2, If they started the PS2 off at £200, many more people would of bought one.

I dont think PS2 has had a very sucsseful start in England, first it is far to expensive for people to afford and also there were hardly any in the country.

For a console to have a good futre it has to have a good start, this is proven with the PSX. That has to be the most succesful console at this time, it even beat off the DC which is a newer and with a better memory and speed, but again people setteld with there cheap, but brilliant PSX. Where every ounce of polygon and memory has been used!

Maybee its time to take action. why not try get SR to start a pettition where we all send in our e-mail address then get them to send it to the big name companies asking for games and consoles to be suitably priced. If prices dropped more products would be sold so companies wouldn't really loose money, they may even make more.

The prices are high because video gaming is such a big industry and the developers want to take advantage of it.
