So I just watched the first PS4 unboxing in the UK, and I a bit gutted about the trial we get.
North America was offered 30 days which is 16 more than what we get (UK consoles only have 14 days) and the Americans also get $10 for use on the PS store, we don't.
The most annoying thing however is the wait! Despite the other disadvantages above this is the worst as we have to wait an extra 14 days for the console to hit our shelves!
It's also 100 pound more expensive if you look at the currency rate however the 100 pound is British import tax and not affiliated with Sony, so fair enough to them there.
I just honestly hope it is all worth it when it does release in 8 days!

These are no bother to me as I'm getting a year plus anyway, but 10 could buy a game DLC, appalling, what about the music? Do we get the 30 day trial or not?

Nope, only code included is a 14 day trial for PS+

I suppose Sony believes that we're all rich and make us pay more to help the less fortunate.
Nah the truth is the USA have more buying power.
Cruel but true.

If this upsets that bad I will let you have my $10 PSN cash. Don't need it anyway.

The main reason people in America were given more is because they wanted more sells here. They figure "Hell Microsoft is American and everyones loves Xbox there,we know we cant win here but we will try" Thats my take. Im honestly surprised they didnt offer a little more to the US to win people over because The Xbox One doesnt come with a free game over here like it does in Europe.
