If I was to be handed my first PS3 game for free, i most certainly wouldn't argue with Resistance.  Thus far, its has been the best game on the system.  Good for you.

As to the hacks at the store, tell them you want a system that can output a completely digital signal (HDMI) and that won;t need to be sent to the shop every six months.  If that's what you request, all they'll have for you is a PS3.

Maybe for you...But here in California with our great %8.25 tax it is $67 and some change.  $59.99 plus %8.25 ($7.27) equals $67.26, I just rounded down...

Hmm, $59.99 plus 8.25% tax is not $67.26. It's $59.99 + $4.94 = $64.93

Alright, stop whining. UK is 17.5%.

But the price of games is the pretty much the USD price but with a pound-sign in front (USD40 becomes GBP40). At current exchange rates, that's pretty much twice the price...

Stoopid freakin taxes and greedy freakin retailers.

When talking economics, it's pretty relitive. A $50,000 job in north america is a 50,000 pound job in the UK, we pay $1 for a pepsi, you pay 1 pound. So in terms of "paying more"... technically yes, the Japs will get more cash from the Brits thanks to exchange, but a Brit buying a console and a north american buying a console - well, it's going to leave a relitively equal sized hole in the pocket at the end of the day.

What really kills your budget in the UK is paying an extra 50 pence for freekin jam for your toast! I'm surprised you guys don't charge extra for toilet paper in public washrooms!

As for what the guy in Mexico was saying... yeah, danm... you guys are getting screwed!

Australia, yeah ouch, $100 game? But at the same time, it's -25 (C) here, would you trade places? I didn't think so!

In the end, who cares how much we pay - as long as it's what we wanted and are enjoying the console, that's all that matters!

Why would you yell at them. I have a PS3 and 360 and I prefer my 360 because of the games...
