What do they expect?
Sony treat us like 2nd class citizens and they wonder why!
Europe and Australia, which combined are a much larger market, are told that we are not as important as our US cousins and will have to wait for months. We're then told that we have to pay £120 more, for a product that is technically inferior.
And Sony wonder why people aren't buying their PS3s. What about this situation do Sony not understand?
To further help Sony along, here are a couple of other clues:
No HDMI cable in the box
No free game in the box (Wii Sports - good enough reason for buying a Wii on its own, and it's free!)
Only 1 controller
If I buy another controller, I have to buy the USB charging cable separately (I mean, how cheap is that?!)
Don't get me wrong - I'd love to have a PS3... but not at that price!
