You pay more in part because you elect politicians that sales tax the crap out of you, and impose high import tariffs on certain electronic components and functionality, and also legislate certain minimum warranty periods, which all add up to a higher purchase price. There's no free lunch, so don't complain, or at least change your vote.

I'm glad somebody finally pointed that out. As an American who lives in Europe, it never ceases to amaze me how fashionable it is over here to blame the U.S. for all the worlds woes: global warming, plate tectonics, higher PS3 prices in Europe.... In the minds of the 'enlightened European, these are all the result of CIA plots and Bush.

Amazing.

saklander might do better to direct his hate mail to Brussels rather than Washington DC (or Langley, VA), as the protectionists import laws and tariffs in the EU -- keeping the 'continent' inefficient and lazy -- are the reason why saklander has to pay more for his Sony toys.
