I was in a music/games shop in town earlier today and they had a big advertisement in the shop for Playstation 2. Already owning a PS2, I didn't take much notice until my friend pointed out to me the price quoted-400 Euro (about 470 pounds sterling I think) and this was without any games, just the machine. I thought there had to be some mistake so I asked the sales guy and he said it was right. I pointed out to him that a normal price everywhere else is about 330 Euro and he just laughed at me! I've heard of overpricing but not on this scale!!! Anyone else come across anything like this?

why is there Euro's in Britain? has the world gone mad or where you some where else?
Yeah, your conversion's screwed. Although, the cost of living is different in Europe, as is the price of electronics. You can't rely on teh exchange rate at all.
Hmmmmm that doesnt sound right. 400 euro isnt £470 because 1 Euro is worth about .65 of a pound so that would make the price about £260 according to my calculator. SO it isnt THAT overpriced but still if it is without any games the price should be dropped by atleast £80
