Well, then, Craig, it looks like Sony won't be selling PS3s in the UK for a loss.

425. That's around $799, IIRC (1=$1.88?). And no, Sony hasn't announced any other price point - in fact, one report even says that there's only going to be one kind of PS3 in the UK, and that's the more expensive one.

Oh, but of course, it's a cheap Blu-Ray player. That seems to be their only excuse now.

I thought they were doing something identical to Microsoft's XBox 360: selling a deluxe system (with harddrive) for the price overstated in this thread and another (with no harddrive) for $100 - $150 less.

Just wondering....

The cheaper one, apparently, has no wifi, no memory card reader, and worst of all, no HDMI. 20GB hard drive, though.
