coogar: europe is always getting screwed by this giant companies. why do we have to wait 2 weeks after the launch in america to get the new console in the UK?

also in what planet is £349 = $399? the minister of trade in the UK is an arsëhole. if sony cannot sell at the normal exchange rate, they can shove their console up their arsë.

2 weeks wait and then paying way over the odds than the americans. this is surely a piss-take!!


First of all.

Remember that in the U.S & Canada, 399 U$D does not include sales tax, HST and all other such hidden charges, while in the U.K the shelf price is all inclusive.. So that U.S 399 U$D price tag is gonna look more like 450 U$D by the time you approach the check-out counter..

then you have to worry about adaptors or step/up & step/down transformers. the stress is not worth my while. besides, some evil game developers still code their games in zones. some PS3 games will not play on your console if you buy out of your country.

that's what they keep telling us but it still falls short. £350 is way more than $450 in the exchange market. the sales tax is not more than 7% albeit each state determines their own sales tax. having to wait 2 weeks and then still pay more than our counterparts in america is just unfair.

as of today, £350 = $545, $450 = £289.

That's without shipping bruv.

If you can consider spending that amount of money on a console, why scrimp on a few quid?

No half-measures fam.

True talk! A couple of quid ain't worth the stress involved. And I'm also sure if you decide to buy from over there, apart from the shipping fees, you'd also have to pay something like duty/tax on it before claiming it the UK. That's how they protect their economy and prevent goods that already exist here from being bought overseas.

Feels good to be out of the pit, thanks. I re-emerge stronger.

Reason is cos the tax on custom duties imposed on SONY by the UK is so high that they will barely make out profit if they sell at standard exchange rate unlike the Free Market USA.... SONY'S GOT TO MAKE SOME MONEY U KNOW... *winks* PS4=COD, FIFA14, NFS... Hehehe*evil grin*

i thought sony would already make money by the number of unit they would sell in the UK anyways - so why shaft the brits of their hard-earned money? it's even better this year. PS3 was awful in 2006. £500 in the UK, $550 in the US and UK waited for 4 months after it launched in the US.

i still strongly feel that the ps4 is a rip off*(it comes without motion sensor)*reasons why the price was reduced* Xboxone comes with the full accessories!!!remember you all would still need to buy the motion sensor to play most games !!!
for now Xboxone Is Still Ahead(when u do ur calculations right)

you are a fool - what has it got to do with import duties? sony is a japanese product. why should america be paying way less than the brits? this is how you uneducated fools from a village just come online to spew nonsense!!!

Nonso23:
Guess its SONY'S way of paying back... And also they get to make more money cos the wait makes a lot of brits order from the USA. That way they bypass custom duties as it's shifted to the person ordering the product and MORE PROFIT FOR SONY.... Pretty wicked Scheme.

they are all rogues - until someone takes them to court, this wicked scheme would continue. someone took apple to court in 2008 and the european commission forced apple to reduce their prices in the UK itunes store - investigation had revealed UK was paying more than 10% than the other european countries - and apple agreed to reduce it!
