The Nikkei screwed up - the Japanese have an alternate way of writing down numbers, and they mistranslated. The proper translation should have read "in the 10s of thousands of yen", ie. Y 30-50,000, which is about £150-250. Considering it will probably be a DVD player as well, I'm not surprised it's slightly higher than DC. I don't know what the pricing position is, it wasn't in any of the Press Releases. Great that it's backwards compatible, can play DVDs, has 32Mb and can kick a PIII's bottom in some respects... See http://www.game-online.com for some images that will make your jaw drop.
