    Default PS3 prices are unbelievable!!!

    I went to royale yesterday in Spanish town where i curiously went to the console section to find out the price for a ps3, you know that piece of technological marvel.

    Its $75,000

    I instantly went into cardiac arrest and blocked out. I came back to, an hour later.
    Why is this console selling for $75,000 comparing to its competitors. especially the 360 which is $35,000 and if you want the hd-dvd part its 17k-25k. I dont remember clearly.

    WELCOME BACK TO EARTH...

    You been living in space??

    At $600 US For console + Plus Shipping say $50 Cheapest = $650
    Ur Govt Charges 40% Duty, plus GCT + User fees.(2%) = (($650 + 40%) + GCT) + User Fees = (($910) + $150.15)) + $21.20 = $1081.35

    at 68 to 1: = $1081.35 * 68 = $73,532.00

    So Quit Complaining, and Call bredda Omar.

    i think you have to take into consideration when this piece of technology was bought and shipped here.if its the 60gb model it could fetch up to us$700+ and markup and tax added.well if thats how you react to a price tag in royale you probably wouldnt make it to the techja getogether if you had visited watts new.

    Why would buy ice water from them anyways? I'm a window shopper when it comes to Watts. Never have and never will buy anything from them. Not even a DVD blank!

    i wish that someone from Watts would see this. This has always been the general consensus when it comes to their store. Them too pricey. Only the rich parents with their spoilt brats shop there.
