....and crap backwards compatibility because Fony are money grabbing
cunts who not only charge more for their products in the UK, but
wanted to save the �6 chip cost that makes them work properly with
older titles - which they included in the hardware everywhere else but
here.

Comparative costs:

Electronic Boutique (US) $599.99 Sony PlayStation 3 60 Gig
Game (UK) �424.99 ($836.84)
Amazon (Japan) (JP) Y59,980 (�255.78)

You can buy a Toshiba HD-E1 for �299 these days. Added to which you have to
pay for a BD title whereas you can download a HD-DVD compliant ISO file and
burn it to a DVD9 for practically nothing.
