Sony doesn't respect the European customers - Blu-ray Forum

HD-Greek · 03-20-2007, 08:29 PM

I have seen the european PS3 in Kotsovolos(Greece)....(Dixons for the UK) and it is made in China...........always the US customers take the better and cheaper and the European customers the more expensive and with worse materials......

JBlacklow · 03-20-2007, 08:31 PM

I'm pretty sure the US PS3s are made China too.

Noway....a lot of people here in Greece have imported US and japanese PS3s.......and all of them are made in Japan.........i didn't import one only for the blu-ray region coding......i hate region coding...

Only Japanese PS3s are made in Japan these days, all the rest are made in the China plants. Though a lot of the components will be made in Japan and shipped to China for assembly.

I'll check my PS3 when I get home.

I don't understand how it is possible......a lot of people here in Greece who imported PS3s are made in Japan.........maybe are all japanese models or only the launch US PS3s were made in Japan...........

I don't think that's true. I believe consoles for the US received units made in both Japan and China.

Well the Europeans Do Get A Cheaper Version Of The Console Compared To The Ones In JApan And The US

guidosarduche · 03-20-2007, 09:32 PM

PS3 are assembled by Sony (Japan) and partners such as ASUSTek and Foxconn (China/Taiwan), with Sony overseeing production at the various sites.

What do you mean by cheaper?600$ is around 450E....and we pay 600E....

WinterWolf · 03-20-2007, 09:37 PM

Why the hell would it matter where it is made? My US PS3 was made in China and it is certainly not crap. Its the same damn hardware.

In fact I rather it be made in China than in Japan because China is known as the number 1 consumer electronics manufacturer in the world.

Isn't custom duty EU requires on many stuff raising the price? Now EU is about to start collecting tariff from digital camera products too...
