£267 For A PlayStation 3 - £321 If You Want Two Games

Despite the fact that Singapore has had to wait until March 7th for its PS3s (which are the same as the US version, with no region-locked games), it looks as if it’s worth the wait.

Why? Get this offer for MySony members: “Sony Singapore has just announced a special pre-order offer for My Sony members of the eagerly-awaited SONY PlayStation 3 (60GB HDD version). The Playstation 3 will be priced at S$963 inclusive of two games - Resistance: Fall of Man and Ridge Racer 7.”

963 Singapore dollars for a 60Gb PS3 with two games – that’s roughly £321. OK, so you’ve got to be a My Sony member, fair enough. So, how much for the base unit to normal, everyday, Singaporean fanboys? S$799 – which translates to £267.

In the USA, you can pick up a PS3 at Best Buy for $599 (plus local sales taxes), which equates to roughly £305.

A Japanese version will cost you Y60,000 (£260).

If you were lying around Coogee Beach in Sydney and decided you needed to go indoors and play, you’d pay AU$999 (£400).

However, if you are resident in Mumbay, India will pay R60,000 – a massive (£694) for your 60Gb version.
