    I said it about the PS3 and I'll say it again, why is it 150euro or US$130? Currency converter says that's US$190, almost exactly a 50% price increase. You can't even blame taxes, they vary from country to country but the price is fixed within the region. Why do they do this to us?

      Point taken, I'll stay. Ok, I might pay more for my console, but at least the beer's better.

      A fair tradeoff, in my opinion.
