I just read the new Official Playstation Magazine this week and apparrently there will be 3 new bundles this spring/summer:

1. The MGS4 bundle that most of us know about includes 80gb(some backward compatibilities) PS3 w/ Dual Shock 3 controller and the MGS4.

2. The Gran Turismo bundle which includes 40gb PS3 w/ Sixaxis controller and GT5 Prologue.

3. The Blu-Ray bundle which includes 40gb PS3 w/ sixaxis controller and 3 blu-ray movies which are 300, Bond: Casino Royale, and Spiderman 3 .

Only the MGS4 bundle is avaliable in NA which goes for $499 and then the other 2 bundles will only be released in EU which goes for a ridiculous price of 400 pounds(about $8000, looks like NA is getting a much reasonable price than EU.

Well considering UK minimum wage is like 6-7 pound(11 US dollars) not really unreasonable if you consider US's national minimum wage is $5.85 right now(EU minimum wage is like 6-9 euros if i remember correctly which is around $10) . Now if your american trying to buy a UK product yes you'll get screwed over.

Edit: The ones getting screwed over are Aussies since it cost like 900 aussie $(around $1000 US),they get monstrous delays, and sometimes don't even get them not to mention their game prices.

Aussies getting screwed? You do know that the minimum wage in OZ is over $12 while the US is $5.85 as you pointed out.

They still get monstrous delay and their rating system is so harsh that some games don't even get released there.

The delays are probably due to Austrailia's restrictions and regulations on imported goods. OZ imports a lot of stuff which is another reason why prices are higher in OZ.
