PS3 priced in Denmark - $977

[oynaz]

Sony has priced the PS3 in Denmark at 5500 kr - about $977. This version is worse than the poorest American version - no PS2 games, for instance.
To be fair, sales tax and salaries are higher in Denmark, but you can still have a C2D with 1 gig of RAM and a 8800GTS 320 Mb for around the same money.

Are Sony insane?

Edit: Sorry, should have been in the off topic forum.

I've heard the PS3 has a cheaper case, too? Well... Sony er lort.

// However, different pricing is not sony's privilege:
