That's still £75 off the PS3's UK launch price.

Repeat after me: the world economy will be *horrific* until at least 2015--launching into the teeth of it with a $400+ console is suicidal.

Actually, what usually happens is that dollars are a 100th of Yen, Euros are the same as Dollars and Pounds are converted from Euros and rounded up to a simple number.

PS3 60GB was 59,980 Yen at launch, $599, 599 Euros and £425.

If PS4 is going to be 40,000 Yen, I'd expect $400, 400 Euros and £350-380.

Why are they not just straight conversions from Yen? Import taxes, that's why!
