Why do companies seem to think that Britain will continue to accept overpriced bundles.
For far too long has the IT/Tech exchange rate been $1=£1. But when you add into the mix, movies being released far earlier. Music and movies being far cheaper. Technology being released in USA only, whereas its now a global market. This will soon infuriate customers whom will go elsewhere?
Take the PS3, in Europe it doesnt have the PS2 built-in, it's massively overpriced, and now bundled too. There is not the 80Gig version either.
Yes ok there are some circumstances where people beleive they are getting a bargain if its bundled. But I personally believe Sony would shift more aging units if they did a simple package being console and controller at a similar price point to its competition. Consumers will still go out an buy the additional accessories and games which they deem important, rather than those which Sony can flog cheaply. Bear in mind Sony yet have to shift a huge backlog of kit which is still piled high on the shelves in stores, and also rapidly requiring firmware updates etc.
Come on Sony ... fair play to the rest of the world.
