I seem to remember...
Last year...
When the PS2 was about to launch...
Sony had managed to start such a marketing frenzy around the PS2 that they were even talking about the machines imminent release on the national news...
Anyway…
At one point, one of the news reporters asked Sony why were we paying so much more for the PS” in the UK than pretty much everywhere else in the world...
To which, in response, Sony PR spokes-person said (and I'm paraphrasing here)
'Everybody else sells their products in the UK at over inflated prices, why should we be the first to stop?'
Now, I’ve wondered since then...
Was Sony being outrageously cheeky... So blatantly over pricing their product, that they would even mention it on national prime time TV?
Or is it actually a fair point?
We complain about over-pricing, and apart the car pricing (which is still higher than the rest of Europe); no one has really done anything about the inflated prices asked for goods in the UK...
Just Cos I Dunno?

dvds are a rip off here but £300 for a console is a rip off. In spring 2002 with the launch of the GC you could get a GC and decent dvd player for that, and the gc is better
Yeah, you're right, it seems as though nothing is being done.
Anyone else know anything?
