Yay for paying double the cost in non-US countries!

Thank you Sony for treating us like the deserving customers we are, and not financially raping us due to our location.  Man, it's nice to know the customer always comes first with these big companies.

Odd, while I was in Florida all the games I saw were $50 (back in the UK now)

It's not just Sony, it's everyone.  Frankly I'm surprised anyone still lives in the UK it's such a ripoff shithole of a place.

i wonder what is the margin that the retailers are making on each game?

[StuckInJapan]

In Japan, PSP games start out around 2000yen, with most mainstream titles priced around 4000 yen.
None of the games seems to have been around long enough
to hit the bargain bins...

Yeah. in MA it's $39.99 and $49.99 for the new releases. That's one reason why I usually don't buy new gaming platforms.

I was in Heathrow airport a couple of weeks ago and prices for UMD movies and games was basically the same (maybe a bit more than in the US) with basically the same title selection as in any U.S. Gamestop/EB Games or BestBuy.

PSP games don't have zones. Any game will work in any PSP. The same can't be said for UMD movies. And if you've got a Japanese game you'll likely still need to be able to read japanese.

You know how the totem pole goes: Japan gets everything, America gets something, and Europe picks up the crums.

And Australia gets to look but not touch for the first 12 months, and then after that pay 200% markup for all the stuff that everyone else put in their bargain bins 12 months earlier.

And then Sony and co complain about the grey-import market and how it's "stealing sales".  How exacly that works when I can't get 99% of the titles I want locally, I don't understand.  But I guess, Sony of America's marketing department know the games I want to play better than I do, and I shouldn't question their greatness and just comply like a good little droid.
