Interesting. I suppose we can only wait and see.

Then again, that's actually not that much. In pounds that comes to just over £250. I was expecting something like £300 and over.

Of course, it's a lot more than the 360, but you are paying for something that does a lot more, and is better.

You've got to admire Sony though. They have the most restraint I've ever seen. No-one but those high up in Sony know any od the details. For a big company, and for a massive console, they sure have kept us in the dark extremely well.
