jeeze..i'm glad i live in the US...that's a pretty steep price for a 40 gig. Didn't know how bad they had it over there, but the game will definitely be worth it.

I should probably clarify my comment, yes, the Euro is worth more than the American dollar, but it's the quality of life that matters...even with that in consideration it still seems a bit on the steep side for a 40 gig

I live in Australia, and I think we've got it the worst.
$699 AUD for the 40 gig PS3 by itself (about 325 pounds, or 650 USD).
It also costs a lot more relative to income.
Correct me if I'm wrong here:
A job in Aus that gets you $50,000 AUD a year would probably get you about $50,000 USD or £50,000 in America and England. So, its a lot more expensive here.

You're forgetting - Prologue sucks.

What sucks about Prologue? You can't just throw out an unqualified statement like that without backing it with criticism.

Well, the price is really the same if you don't calculate it into dollars.
Average income is around, well let's say 75.000 euro's, probably its around 75.000 dollars in the US, and 75.000 pounds in the UK.
Just because the dollar isn't worth that much anymore doens's mean that we in europe have less to spend.
( By the way, its just a guess... Im 16 and Dutch so please don'st kill me, Thanks! :D )

You actually right as EURO and Pound are way higher than the American dollar. I dont think America is going to get out of this recession business.

Average wage is £75000? Don't make me laugh.

75k euros a year is more that two times the mean income for the Netherlands.

and the average income for the uk is ~£30,000 AFAIK.
I dont deny that a direct £ to $ comparison is inaccurate.

"I dont think America is going to get out of this recession business."
We can thank good ol' Georgy Bush for that one... No matter how high prices are over in the UK, just be thankful that you never had that jack-a$$ running you country. I've thinking of an escape route outta here lately. Haha

€75,000 is way, way over average wage, as is 75,000GBP. I imagine that $75,000 is also a hell of a lot over average wage.
That said, your point is kind of right. Let's just say it's about €$GBP 30,000

Well of course when you convert the currency from $ to Euro it's going to look hella expensive, but $1 = 1.59 Euro, so......it makes sense that it's "really expensive" to us, Americans....
