Value Added Tax
whadda ya know both are cheapest in the countries, they are made in. Might have something to do with shipping + export/import tax/duties etc maybe?
I dunno, its got Tefal written on it,
Sure.Value Added Tax
The cost of living is higher here
but we get paid higher
tax is higher
etc
for example some guy selling ps3 consoles in japan will be getting paid £3 an hour
over here he will be getting paid £7 an hour
the tax in japan will be a lot lower
then of course it has to be shipped all the way from japan to UK
so cost of console, plus shipping, plus tax, plus all the peoples wages who help the console get here onto the shop floor into your hand
take into the fact you are higher paid than the guy in japan also then it probably works out cheaper
I use a lighter.
Fact sony fail from there thinking of dominance.
MS loan out plants very easy to do and cheaper, Sony own plants so they have to implement major salries into costs.

MS has a south american plant.
Sony in debt, MS not in debt, Nintendo lolwut never been in debt.
Arn't the 360 in Europe made in Ireland? I bet they don't get a discount.
MS has only recently started to make a profit on Xbox. Not just the 360 but since the Xbox 1 as well. Sony is making an absolute killing on the PS2 and the PS3 will move into profit early next year.
cheets64 being angry and negative, again.

Oh yeah? Well guess what, sometimes I eat toast raw.

Abooie said:MS have posted 3 back to back profit quarters, whether this is 'only recently' is debatable.
Despite still making a 'killing' on the PS2 because of the PS3 Sony has still lost $3b over the last two years nearly knocking off any profit they've made from the whole playstation venture. Sony are still a long way from making profit with the PS3.
As with all products released, the company makes a loss to begin with until broken-even. M$ not being in debt = wow, rinsing the consumer? I wanna know where you guys get your MS love from, they produce extremely poor quality products and charge ridiculous prices, 55quid WiFi adapters, and 1 billion of consumer spending on P2P services. Saying MS are better than any other organisation is extremely ridiculous! Thier ruthless blood thirsty ways are why theyre the most richest organisation!
edit: imo.
