As you can see the american version costs $499 whereas the British version costs £429. When you convert $499 into British Sterling you see that the American version is actually a lot cheaper. AMERICAN VERSION IN POUNDS = £320.8 BRITISH VERSION IN POUNDS = £429. If you are a British buyer you are paying up to £109 more. Also people living in European countries that use the euro will still be paying a lot more than the USA but only a little less than British users.
What do you guys think?

VAT
UK is richer
Higher cost of living
Exchange rate not stable
Compare overall rates vs UK you're see it not too bad.
People need some common sense.

It does not matter. Only a fool would buy this console anyway... The price is not that bad too! I would be prepared to pay up to 599british sterling for a new gen console.
