ENTERTAINMENT GEAR gear maker Sony has decided that the reason that its PS3 is not selling as well in Canada as it likes is because the most expensive console on the market is too cheap.

According to hereGamersReports Sony has upped the price for the PS3 in Canada by $40 dollars. The new price is Canadian $699.99. Both Best Buy and Futureshop have the console listed at the new price, the old list used to be $659.99.

The move brings Canada into line with what the US charges for the machine, although local users are fuming. It seems that it is just yet another PR own goal by Sony in the PS3 saga which has seen shortages, high prices and a badly managed launch. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
