Eurogamer has an interview with Sony Computer Entertainment UK's managing director, Ray Maguire, revealing the UK price of the PS3. That price? 425, or about $799 US.

Speaking to Eurogamer TV in an exclusive interview to be broadcast in the next few days, Maguire said: "I don't think it's an expensive machine; I think actually, it's probably a cheap machine.

"If you think a Blu-Ray player by itself might be 600-700, and we're coming in at just 425 - it's a bargain."

God, fuck off, Sony. The difference is that I actually want a PS3 where as I don't want a Blu-Ray player. You're trying to force me to pay more money because you want me to have one, though. Which is pretty much why I won't buy one at all at launch. - Florian Eckhardt
