Battlefront was just some fist person perspective walking through snow then an AT-AT foot and speeder bike appear with some lasers.

Dragon Age was just a trailer, no gameplay.

Where did you see this?

Battlefront's teaser was literally 5 seconds, DA III was just a trailer.

I think that includes taxes for Europe but not for the US. But even with that taken into account, yes, the consoles are more expensive in Europe/UK.

Sadly, youtube seems to be having troubles on my end. It's in that video link that Dovahkiin posted. A person commented on a person's comment, I mistakenly clicked on show when I should have left it alone, and saw the comment that had too many negative views. Think what throws me off is the comment about hype because it's the job of developer's to hype their product, letting the consumers carry that hype to greater levels. Unless i'm a total idiot and completely mistaken, which is quite possible since my ability to misread what people say is astounding to some.

If any one is having issues with the GameInformer stream, it seems to be working at the E3Insider site.

Except they aren't. Ridiculous UK price aside, they also made a direct conversion $500 = €500. Hint: they're not really equal.

At this price, Xbox One will be a major failure in my country. No wonder we're not getting it in November, it just wouldn't sell on the release day.

How can it include taxes if every European country has different VAT rates? I mean, all prices will be relatively similar, but there's a significant difference between Luxembourg 15% and Swedish 25% VAT.

M$ is trying to corner the North American market. That has been their goal all along. If you would see their sales numbers outside of North America, it is real easy to see why.

Ya, it seems GI is having issues or something. Go to Gamespot or IGN for the stream.

Oh I'm sorry it is more like 109 pounds more for no reason. £320 =$500....

I feel sorry for countries that use euros. That price is obscene. I'm guessing it is the same price in Zloty. I suppose it's good we're not down under. Ozzies and Kiwis are always unlucky in console prices.

THE FASTEST WAY TO LEARN A GUITAR!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! FORGET ABOUT PLAYING AN ACTUAL GUITAR GUYS, THIS IS IT! THIS IS [censored] IT!!!!

So this is the carnival side of Ubisoft, as discernible by the way this lady (lady?) is presenting herself. We are going to see Watch Dogs and AC: V gameplay from the good guys, and maybe a big reveal, but the rest? Let's see if they make us balloon animals.

Just the way things are when it comes to shipping electronics (or anything really) to anywhere in the EU right now. My company has sent free samples for lab testing to places in Europe and it is costing us an arm and a leg in taxes, customs and duties for something that has no commercial value.

Its VAT , £429 is $666. With VAT at 20% and included in the price if you work it out the VAT your are paying is £71.50 which is $110. So really its $56 (or £35) more you are paying which still is more , but not as bad as £109.
