"Stop Bashing Sony"

They are quite capable of doing it themselves.

No price cut for Euro PS3 console

Damn, they're good at shooting themselves in the foot! DRM rootkits, claims of inventing new controllers using ancient technology, etc.

I was just about to post this but i see you got there first.
Not much you can say about it really, the corporate suicide continues.

Not really doing anything to prevent the re-enforcement that Sony hates Europe.

Had they brought it down to £300 inline with the USA, i might just have started considering buying one. Not a chance as it is though.

I originally thought £425 was expensive because you have to add over £100 for games and controllers etc to make it £550. Adding two games and a controller to the pack and keeping it at the same price isnt that bad. Your overall spends have been reduced by over £100 so its effectively a price cut. Shops will start doing various bundle packs and special offers towards Christmas and no doubt there will be further reductions in Feb/March when games tend not to sell as well in the post Christmas lull. Chances are there are very few games any of you want to play on it yet any way, so it should be a reasonable price in 6-9 months when the good games are coming out.

I always love the playground enconomics where people think that if something is 600 dollars then of course it should be selling for 300 pounds here. :)

Anyway, theres something better to bash sony about. CVG are reporting that the US price cut is just to get rid of stock of the 60gig version and that're dropping it after July. So they'll only be the 599 model left.

There's nothing playground about it when importing's involved.

Around here, bashing is slang for jerking off.

I thought it was quite apparent that both Nintendo and Sony hate Europe.
