That's IF MS was interested in the unit being 499US everywhere. . .obviously they - and other companies are not. They are interested in the unit being 499 everywhere. As plainly stated in my reply.
Now, feel free to go and cry in your cups and moan about those mean old "UhmeriKKKans" (ignoring that this is hardly exclusively an American business phenomenon).

Europe is not America, so pricing things with that mentality is retarded as fuck. UN has the highest discrepancy in terms of cost of living/currency strength; you can't compare standards in countries like UK, Germany, France, Austria to countries like Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria. So saying that 500 (where dollars = euros) is a fair price for UN and Uhmerica is downright retarded.
But yeah, it's been like this since for ever, but now everything is outsourced to hell and back so the costs are the same for EU and US products.

Your reply makes no sense it's not 499 in uk so how are they interested in setting it as 499 everywhere.
odds are in canada it will be 600 dollars.

With the exception of KH3, you pretty much nailed it! Keep it mind that this is region free so you could buy it for 399$ and bypass the retarded currency conversion math most companies use.
I wonder how much did microsoft's stocks plummeted after this.

That's all microsoft. They have a lone track record of fucking themselves up on all dept. -- they made stupid moves with Windows, with Mobile/portable and now with the xbox, witch was the only thing going right for them, until now.
If microsoft is not the most moronic company of our times, I don't know witch company is.
Btw, did AC just crashed during the Sony event?
