joe 155 writes "The Register is reporting that ' 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?"

    Speaking of typos, I'm pretty certain the the unit of currency in the UK is not the dollar.

    Anyway.. $800.. that's about £50 these days, isn't it?
