talk to your country? Sony doesnt set the price for anything, they sell it to the stores. your taxes and store you buy it from dictate the price you pay

Yeah it's not Europe, it's Greece that will sell the PS3 for 650. You can blame local retailers for that increase from 599. As far as an HDMI cable, really, how many times have we gone over this. You can get them fairly cheap so there's no point complaining unless it's just for the sake of complaining. I, personally, don't have to worry about it since I'll be bringing my PS3 with me when I move to Thessaloniki on the 12th along with an HDMI cable from Monoprice for my new 1080p Bravia I'll be getting when I get there.

  HDMI cables can be had for $5.

You cant even buy s-video or component for $5, let alone HDMI. If you know were to get that kind of a steal let me know so I can return mine.

actually, s-video and component cables are usually MORE expensive than HDMI cables. and you can find HDMI cables for 5$-10$.

Whatever the price its a disgrace that an hd console is not shipped with hd cables but thats sony. You will just have to live with that and the price if you want a ps3 though.

yes, the upwards of $10 is just a disgrace. rather than push up the price more, they leave it up to you how you want to connect it and if your smart, you can save a lot

the overall price in europe for a ps3 is 600 euro's the only country in europe is the u.k that pays more.. and most people don't have HD so why include a HDMI cable when most ps3 owners don't even have a hd...  so work a extra day for your cable.. it won't kill you.. :x
