*Remember when the PS2 came out later in Europe and UK. The mass hype roaming round the latest killer console. The price was the only uproar as it differred in regions across continents.
*There are more complications with the ps3 though. I love playstation but there selling tactics are a mystery. In North America they are offered a nice bundle - (MSG4, Dualshock 3 as standard with 80gb PS3) along with the 40gb version. Thats good cuz it offers choice plus it cheaper over there to buy. PS3 40gb in US is bout £199, 100 less than the UK. The 80gb ps3 costs exactly the same as the 40gb UK ps3 (is that even fair?)
*Parts of asia are gettin exclusive sales cuz they can.
*They lavish the console with some hot kit like more controllers, games, better finish etc all over the US and Asia and they do the same here in the UK and Europe 2 - 3 years later.
*Whether it is lack of demand the price shouldn’t be the compromise for it cuz its wrong.

So are we gettin shunned? Huh maybe…
If you don’t like the question then don’t answer
*I would like to know from 40gb owners what would they do if the 60gb was still around would you pay for the xtra 50 quid.
Is the 40gb a bad deal?
Do You think sony has to prioritize us like all there other customers around the world instead of not giving us a second thought.
Do you think we need another version of the PS3 so we have a choice instead of having to go with the entry level because you had no choice
What I mean by parts of asia getting exclusive deals are like the white ps3, steel casing that sort of thing. Its not really a worldwide thing for them they just keep it to themselves
