You were actually looking for an American console, so you're in luck with this! Although I do agree that it is pretty lame that it still works out cheaper to import an NTSC console than it does buying a native UK machine.

The exchange rate just doesn't work in our favour though, as $450 equates to £276 right now, so where do these retailers get off charging us £350?
