PS3 To Retail For $850 In Denmark
Quite a number of online and brick-and-mortar retailers across the US have started taking pre-orders for the PS3. We’ve also heard reports that Australia, Germany and the UK have joined the pre-order frenzy. In Denmark, several online retailers have set the pre-order price of the next-gen console at DKK 5000 ($850) for the 60GB version. The 20GB version will cost DKK 4000, or $683. Pre-order deposit is at DKK 50 ($10).
The 20GB PS3 will have the same price point as the PS2 when the latter was released in Denmark. For comparison, the Xbox 360 premium package goes for DKK 3000 ($510).
Xbox 360 games currently cost $80 in Denmark and PS3 games are expected to retail above $100. The higher price point in Denmark is due to the taxes and import fees. The price will likely be the same for Sweden and Norway.
Looks like the Danes will have to cough up lots of kroner to get their PS3s. Tobias Dahl of Digital Battle couldn’t have said it better: What are the American gamers complaining about, again?
