200 – 250 is the updated price I belieive and I hope they stick to that because that will definitely get alot of people on board with the NGP. I for one will be snatching one of these out of some middle aged mother of three’s claws come opening day. Sorry moms but I gots needs and your kids just want.

In reply to DirectingChaos. If you converted it the other way using today's exchange rate $300 would be £185.13, this is something that has annoyed me for years because it effects most modern tech (I know I pods were the same when they first came out) plus the United States get the price drop before the UK (happened with the PS3, 360 and PSP just to name a few). I would love to find out why this policy was put in place as it seams like they just think the UK market will pay more and put more money in their pockets.

In reply to DirectingChaos. You have a good point, isn't the pound a bit stronger then the USD? quite strange.

That a good point I have never converted it back to US currency, it would be $484.74 which is some mark up. I can’t see it being to do with customs as they are all produced in Asia are they not, so that would equally apply to the USA as it would with the UK.

Hey Chaos how much is 300 pounds in U.S dollars dude?? Do you think it has to do with bringing an american or asian made product over to the UK like customs pay for customs or something??

One thing they need to resolve is charging the same figure in the UK as USA, what I mean is charging $300 for a console in the states and then charging £300 when it comes out in Britain. Why should UK gamers have to pay so much more than Americans for the same product???
