    Is that inclusive of VAT ?

    Personally I think anyone wanting a PS3 should wait a month or two till Sony realise how badly the launch has bombed, drop their pure arrogance, and reduce their prices to make it competitive with their direct competition.
    Not everything that's cheap is a bargain

    I agree that the EU launch has been bad, 4 months after everyone else, poor backwards compatibility, still no real decent launch titles but dont expect a price drop. There is no like for like competition for the PS3, the Xbox 360 is superior in terms of games, but the extras needed like HD DVD playback and wireless network connectivity do put the 360 on equal terms in both hardware spec (of course the hard drive is way smaller) and up towards that PS3 price point.

    They lose $200 or around that region for every machine sold so I doubt the price will drop. Best deal is 10% off Virgin with either their credit card or a nus card as far as I'm aware - paid £382.50 for mine.
