Sony has disappointed gamers by announcing that it will not be discounting the Playstation 3 (PS3) in Europe, despite knocking $100 (£50) off the price of the console in the US earlier this week.
The company said that instead of cutting prices, it was introducing a better value "starter pack" that will include an additional controller and two leading games such as Resistance: Fall of Man or MotorStorm.

In another blow to British gaming enthusiasts, Sony also confirmed today that it had no plans to introduce the new and enhanced 80 gigabyte version of the PS3 in Europe.

I take it this affects not only European gamers, but Australian ones too. So here's the updated list of worldwide PS3 prices:
Australia - $US 871
UK - $US 864
Europe - $US 825
US - $499
The rest of the world is getting ripped off, and subsidizing for the US discounts!
