Crazy Like A Fox
Last week I linked to an article where Phil Harrison, a Sony President, made outlandish claims about how the PS3 is a computer to replace the PC. I laughed and mentioned that I knew his mom. It seems that Phil is, in fact, not crazy. Instead he has an uncanny understanding of the European Tax Code.
Kotaku reports that the EU has a pretty hefty tariff on game consoles. Interestingly enough, imported computers enjoy a much lower rate. Those crafty kids at Sony have managed to get the PS3 classified as a computer thanks to the release of Linux for the PS3. Sony is saving millions of euros by making their executives look like ass hats.
As they say in Ireland, "Brilliant!"
