isnt this normal though systems cost more in europe so why wouldnt games.

I just find it amazing that they're gonna pay almost $90 for a PS3 game and almost $80 for a Wii game. So they're basically gonna be paying near $1000 just for a PS3 and 1 game, insane.

Since when does importing to a smaller (albeit relativley stronger) foreign market not intell higher prices. How much do americans pay for BMW's or especially their parts (not that I could afford one) but you know what I mean, Americans pay more for european goods and Europeans pay more for American goods. America and Japan are also much closer than you think shipping to or from the west coast. I guess the question is, how much is a honda civic in Europe, do they even have them there. Also when is Europe going to make a kick ass game console. The Mercedes or even the Austin Martin of the gaming world:) lmao, Microsoft is Chevy, and Sony is Honda. Where are our Cadillacs and Lexus's.
