Why the hell are people complaining that Wi-Fi and HD-DVD isn't built in? Some people are so stupid......

Why on earth would Microsoft FORCE you to buy a console with HD-DVD and Wifi built in when a) you may be using a wired net connection and b) you may not want to use your console as a movie player. Surely if Microsoft burdened you with these things that you may never use, then surely it would be then that they would be accused of fleecing customers for money. They can't win....

This is a GAMES console first and foremost. Why can't people understand that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????

Nope, Microsoft fanboys are. Have you seen them ? everytime game spot posts something that talks about the ps3, 360 fanboys jump in and flame something that is completely irrelevant to their console. They think their the best cause bill gates is rich, and that 360 has a 1 year head start. Seriously, I can't stand microsoft fanboys their so confident that their gonna win. The news where sony gave out bravia TV's . well some microsoft fanboy said sony gave them TV's cause they were really really desperate for sales. The truth is, it's a sign of good will and a reward to people that have been waiting forever for the console. I can't stand microsoft fanboy's and their anti-sony. If PS3 came out first, Microsoft's 360 would look bad. xXSecksXx

This is an interview that Gamerbiz did with Sony UK's Managing Director. Best bit has to be where he is asked about why the console is more expensive in the UK than the rest of Europe. Pay particular attention to the third paragraph of his answer....

and this one's a gem:

But GBP 425 seems like an odd number. Did you think about pricing the PS3 at GBP 399 which would have a different feel to it, psychologically?

No. We did consider GBP 429, but we wanted to get the best for the consumer.
