the PS3 will cost £425 in the UK - over $800'. SCE UK Managing Director Rat Maguire said: 'I don't think it's an expensive machine - I think actually, it's probably a cheap machine. If you think a Blu-Ray player by itself might be £600-700, and we're coming in at just £425, it's a bargain.' Can a console really be viable at this price?"
Movie theaters do the same thing, you pay $8 for the movie and if you get there before the show you end up watching 25 minutes commercials, not to mention all the product shots inside said movie.
