Prices.

It grinds my gears when people charge more than they have to for items.

like the PS3 for instance probably costs about 300 dollars more than it cost to make. I can understand wanting to make a profit but people just take it too far these days >.<

yeah, the materials them selves may not cost much more than 20 quid, but thats not all they are buying think about all the 100s of hours on design, with which people need to be paid and electricity and equipments need to be bought.

i think the price f most things are justified, people complain about petrol prices, but they really aren't that unreasonable when you consider what people go through to get it.

yeah, we learnt about this kinda stuff in business studies

lol random,convert what we pay for "gas" here in britain and tell our us friends and theyd be burning down the white house if they had to pay that much.

Just like wow. They are earning 150 million $ each month!!!! + the cost of the game itself.
That's fuycking crazy!!!

They could do fine with 20 millions to pay all the people that work there.

Gas is such a waste of money words can't describe it. Them oil company owners are greedy pigs and nothing more.

and yeah @ jorgz, i could understand 200 dollars for a brand new system, i'd even pay tops of 300, but 500 dollars is just uncalled for.

Meh, Norway is considered the worlds best country because of that oill. Because of that oil I get free hospital, school, food, house, electricity, broadband, Bus, ++

Yeah it's my scholarship... it's HUGE!

I get twice the ammount I need.

you'd be surprised how much the machines cost that actually make the PS3s, and not forgetting that some parts need to be replaced often, this all has to be included in the price, trust me, if you went and saw the running costs of some machines, you would be amazed.

@southcliffe (or what ever he calls himself now) - the reason their petrol is cheaper than our is the same reason their beer sucks, its watered down, lol.

Therese of Lisieux · 02-17-2008, 08:57 PM

timothy,come over here sometime and pay 3 times what you have to pay then see how much a waste you think it is lol.

also south, keep in mind the exchange rate and the average and minimum wage differences.

Who needs oil?

Not me..

**CM Punk** · 02-17-2008, 10:05 PM

Gas should be regulated, but the government is too useless to do that

Perhaps if countries such as Norway wouldn't rip off every country in the world, millions of American soldiers wouldn't be dieing in Iraq..Sure, most of your country's money comes from oil, but it's blood money. The cost for that money is American lives.
