No not really. Companies do announce prices before they actually come out.

The thing is...these haven't been announced.

$400 is out of mass price range. I don't think it's good speculation and even.

Face it Peerzy, we'll get ripped off no matter what price it is in america. You can convert it from $ to £ and then just add another 50-100 quid. They don't call it rip-off Britain for nothing.

Yepper, computer hardware is also much more expensive. An ATI 9800 is like $130 which is roughly £70. We pay £130 which is roughly $200 for it

, hopefully the systems will be multi region like the Xbox and we can import them earlier and cheaper than UK stores will have them.

Unfortunately true

Question is who rips us off - The manufacturer, the retailer or the government.

From what I can tell, it's all three
