Ahh, okay. I know that most games were still around £35-£40, just that some were getting that bit higher, so it doesn't surprise me too much that the average game will go up a bit more.

One thing that does bother me about the PS4 (as the Xbox did a few hours ago) is that the British price does not match the US price. Shouldn't it be about £250 if we paid the US price? :/

And... this means that the PS4 is cheaper than an iPhone? That's mad.

Two things to take into consideration, VAT and minimum wage. I think somebody worked out for the XBOne that it actually takes less working hours for someone in the UK (on average wage) compared to someone in the USA (on average wage) so I assume it's something similar with the PS4.

Ahh, I understood the VAT (even though I'm sure that wasn't enough to make up the price difference), so I assume that's where the minimum wage comes in I guess. Never thought that would come into what decides the price, but what would I know?

I'm really hoping Xbox go back on their bad features, I'm not bothered by Kinect, but all the issues with used games/one person per disc thing. Such an issue. Hopefully, they're smart enough to realise.

Haha, totally forgot that Nintendo existed.

Mario Kart looks pretty good, shame I'm never going to get a Wii U.

Ok, and I just read that the PS4 is region-free, what is to stop us from getting a PS4 in the US and bringing it back here? Would be much cheaper, no? (Assuming the p+p isn't sky-high)

This alone was better than everythign M$ did. for me anyway

It is region-free, and yes you could. I imagine packaging would be too high - but you could buy one whilst in America..

Sadly I'm in America July-August, so a bit too early

Does anyone know if the Xbox is region locked/free?

I imagine it will be locked, but not sure for definite.
