Is it just coincidence that the only place where they compete with Amazon and Sony they have reduced the price by 100 Euro?

All companies set local prices to reflect local markets. That's business. The price discrepency isn't as great as you quote, because the £ and € price you quote above includes the French VAT rate of 19.6%; the US price doesn't. One reason the price is higher in the EU is that customers have more legal rights for replacement, etc, in the EU than the US.
I've had my Gen3 for 4 months now and love it. To my way of thinking, you can wait forever for the perfect machine to come along. Get something now and enjoy it. Life is too short to wait for the ideal product
