C´est Officiel après l´erreur de Stringer le Blog semi officiel a confirmé la sortie de la ps3 le 23 mars et au prix convenu. La différence de prix en Irelande est dûe à la TVA et pour l´Angleterre le niveau de vie étant plus élevé en moyenne les détaillants veulent se garder de bonne marge de bénéf.

PS3 - EUROPEAN PRICE CONFIRMATION
Filed under: PS3 NEWS — Three Speech @ 4:01 pm
Sources close to Sony have all but confirmed that the various launch prices for the PS3 in Europe will be as follows:
Ireland - €629 (60GB)
Europe - €499 (20GB) / €599 (60GB)
UK - £425 (60GB)
So, why the difference in prices?
Ireland is an extra €20 compared to Europe due to their VAT rates being higher, at 21%. We weren’t given any real reason to why the UK price is £30 more than that of Europe …erm, other than the cost of living is greater in the UK and retailers won’t budge from their inflated mark-up!
Take a look at the following link for some further info:

Also, you may have heard that Sir Stringer PDG Sony, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sony Corporation, was quoted as saying the launch was going to be in April. We can confirm that this was a mistake and that everything is still being lined up for the March 23 launch date!

PS3 set to retail in UK for GBP 425
Ellie Gibson 15:39 17/01/2007
Retailers accused of driving up price point
Senior retail sources have told GamesIndustry.biz that the 60GB PlayStation 3 will go on sale in the UK for GBP 425, as previously stated by Sony UK boss Ray Maguire.
His comments were made in an interview with GI.biz in May of last year, where he defended the price point as "a bargain" for consumers.
Now several retail execs have confirmed that the GBP 425 figure is correct, and said they are expecting an official announcement from Sony next week. It´s thought that the 20GB PlayStation 3 will not be made available in the UK, at least during the initial launch period.
The announcement is also expected to confirm a March 23 launch date across Europe, as previously reported.
The UK price is equivalent to just under EUR 647, which is likely to elicit complaints about "rip-off Britain" as Sony has confirmed that the 60GB PS3 will cost EUR 599 in most other European territories. The price for Ireland, however, has been set at EUR 629.99, apparently due to a higher VAT rate.
One retail source said that the higher UK price has not been driven by Sony but by British retailers, who traditionally seek bigger profit margins than their Continental counterparts.
