...YOU WHAT?!!!]]>Jun 12th 2007 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/
1. Sales tax. 15-25% depending on country
2. Sky high Euro
3. 2 year mandatory warranty.
4. Various other taxes and import tarifs.

Turns out the PS3 is a bargain, all things considered.]]>Jun 12th 2007 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Sep 4th 2007 1:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/
You claim that your not in the same stadium as everyone else...please explain what stadium your in as the Wii is in the process of playing for the world series and the x360 is making a run at a superbowl title, one finds sony sitting the bench. Your alot like an over zerlous athlete who thinks that they are merley better than everyone else with out putting up. Id seriously like to ask you to reevaluate you game plan as your doing horribly in japan, sub-par in the USA and the same in europe.

Thanks for your time,

Someone who likes competition in the marketplace]]>Jun 12th 2007 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/
yeah, cause boosting their profits will really show them]]>Jun 12th 2007 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/
I think people are just pathetic when it comes to bashing Sony on any possible occasion. Yes they have made a lot of stupid decisions, but so does every other business and company in the world. Just get used to it and stop pissing and moaning. You should spend more time playing games and enjoying them and less time bashing something you aren't even trying.]]>Jun 12th 2007 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/

so let me get this right, sony made hundreds of employees redundant in europe and the us due to a changing market towards digital distribution but then says there are no plans to actually distribute media via the pipe as Sony are in a "different stadium" to quote David Reeves.]]>Jun 12th 2007 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/
I don't think I suggested MS as a solution though. ;-) If I did offer a suggestion I would have suggested a Nintendo Wii. I love mine!]]>Jun 12th 2007 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/The claim about broadband penetration is just bogus.
I'm actually looking at a chart right now of the top 10 countries in the world when it comes to broadband penetration by population. Here goes:

1. Denmark (That's Europe btw Sony!)
2. Iceland (Yeah, Europe again)
3. Netherlands (And yes. Europe)
4. South Korea (Wha? Only on 4:th place)
5. Hong Kong
6. Switzerland
7. Finland
8. Sweden
9. Canada
10. Norway

So, let's see. Of the top ten we got 7 (thats S E V E N) in Europe.

What a load of bull.. I bet the 80 gb version will be release in the US before it's relased in europe (USA is on place 19 on the list by the way)]]>Jun 12th 2007 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 16th 2007 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/
Good grief.....oh dear.

The Playstation 3 has sold more at this stage than both the PS1 and PS2 had.

And that's with increased 'competition'. 'Nuff said. :-)]]>Jun 12th 2007 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/Jun 12th 2007 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/12/sony-no-80gb-ps3-for-europe/
Japanese PS store has so meny PS1 games they have Tekken 2 FPS alot of Plat formers and RPG. they have alot of add ons to boot to like sonic blast factory. what do we have 3 PS1 games 3 addon packs for 3 games Motor storm Ridge Racer 7 and Genji.
What the hell gives you the right to put games on the Playstation Network that don’t work for one Spyro 2 it wont load a level and i’m stoped looking at a black screen.
I wont my Money back.
You say that you want the gamers to have a good experiences on the PS3 all the other the world the only country i see that the gamers ant complaneing is Japan because they get games that don’t get relised in europe games that i for would like to play and read it in English not Japanese.

We don’t want stupid trailers that we can see on the net or on TV of films coming out the Japanese site hardly has does they have the Game Movies which i think is Fantastic why the hell did you only bring out Boku no Natsu Yasumi 3 in Japan i was looking forward to that i was even going to buy a copy online when i find out that you can’t change the language to English and that it doesn’t have english sub titles in it get your act together.

And what happend to Supper Puzzle street fighter HD that was supposed to be a world wide relish why is Europe always last in line we still don’t even have Tekken 5 DR online.

Sony if i have to write a letter to you i will. And if things do not change i will take this as fare as i can just to see that u are trying to in prove things.
If i remember one of Your team members said that the People in Europe don’t mind delays because we don’t make a big fuse a about it. Will if u want a big Fuse i’ll give u one.]]>Sep 2nd 2007 9:10AM
