Sony not cutting price in Europe ... ouch!

We just felt Europe's pain. Sony has announced that they will not be cutting the price of the European PlayStation 3 and they will not be offering the 80GB PS3 at this time either. To compensate, Sony will offer a "starter pack" at the respective countries current price. For example, in England, the £425 PS3 will allegedly have an extra £115 of content included as well. No word yet on what that will be.

So, um, yeah. There's speculation of a second price cut in the States before the end of the year and Europe just can't get any love. Hey, at least for this they've got universal healthcare, good cheese, cheap wine ... we're just trying to find the silver lining in this. Sorry.

This is pathetic, firstly because Sony are having to give away their two best games (maybe their only good exclusives as yet). Secondly because they are still treating europe like dirt. And thirdly, because it will not be so mass market now as it is 18+ not so likely parents will buy it. Sony are doomed as far as europe is concerned.

Thanks for effectively robbing me of 6 minutes of my life. That wigger makes me want to go postal on someone.
