Or is it just tax on not being American?
What am I talking about?
PS2, it's going to cost a heafty equivalent of £100 more to buy in the UK than America. Anyone feel taken advantage of, and taken for a fool?
Car prices, CD's, and just about anything else you can think of, we have to pay more for here than is justifiable. Why? Because we pay whatever they charge. So we are suckers?
I guess so.
Now all commercial industries see us as a soft touch, a big, fat, stupid cow sat there for the milking, and all we do is moo for them.
I'm ashamed.

Aye, I won't buy a PS2 because of the price. I don't see the point anyway of pre ordering as the price will probably drop by about £150 in six months and there will be many more games to buy then as well. I am though looking foward to buying Deus Ex, it looks great! Pardon me, lost track of the subject there. Right, PS2, I think personnaly we should boycott it until the price is dropped. Although not everyone who will buy a PS2 will read this, I hope people who do will tell others, and they will tell others, and they will... you get the point. If we don't buy it, (although thousands have already preordered it) then Sony will be forced to drop the price quickly. I think I'm going to wait for the Dolphin anywho (not a spelling error, I like the word anywho) as I believe it to be the better console. And it won't just be a DVD player which can also play games.
Hey, why pick on the Americans? The Japanese design these cards that make up some not-really-entertaining-at-all game. They decide on the slogan 'Gotta Catch Them All'. "O.K.," say we,"We Will". As long as we are such idiots in the commercial arena, people will take advantage of us, with computer games as well as everything else. The simple answer? Don't buy a PS2. Just keep your PC, buy a copy of Deus Ex and you'll have as much fun for a fraction of the price. All those in favour say 'aye'.
