They tend to work out OK-ish over here - you should get any Fox title for around £14 online - but it's us US PS3 owners who are shafted. The likes of DVDPacific and Amazon.com charge £14-£15 before shipping for Fox catalogue titles - steep, when you think to yourself 'that's the third or fourth time I've bought Edward Scissorhands...."

It does seem to be worse in the shops though, in HMV today they have just a few titles between £27 and £30...all fox too.
I know online is far better but prices like that for things like Alien Vs Predator when brand new titles are topping out at around £19 from other studios.
Hopefully they'll see the need to drop the RRP now that they'll have more serious competition with Warner on the team.
