Sony UK has confirmed that in the past 48 hours it has communicated to its trade channel that due to adverse changes in the Yen/Euro Euro/Pound exchange rate over the last six months, and with this uncertainty set to continue into 2009, Sony will increase the trade price of a number of products over the coming months. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has however made a statement saying that "this move would not translate into a price rise for the PS3."

The same can't be said for all their other products though.

Chances are though, accessories like the PS3 wireless keypad and the AC Adapter will be getting the heavier price tags.brbrhr style="width: 100 ; height: 2px;"brspan style="font-weight: bold;"Related Articles:/spanbrullia title="Discounted 40Gb PS3s on SonyStyle UK" href="http://ps3.qj.net/Discounted-40Gb-PS3s-on-SonyStyle-UK/pg/49/aid/126876"span title="Discounted 40Gb PS3s on SonyStyle UK" style="font-style: italic;"Discounted 40Gb PS3s on SonyStyle UK/span/a/lilia title="Launch and price details for US: PS3 Wireless Keypad, AC Adapter" href="http://pspupdates.qj.net/Launch-and-price-details-for-US-PS3-Wireless-Keypad-AC-Adapter/pg/49/aid/126721"span title="Launch and price details for US: PS3 Wireless Keypad, AC Adapter" style="font-style: italic;"Launch and price details for US: PS3 Wireless Keypad, AC Adapter/span/a/lilia title="More from the Sony staff meeting: God of War 3 looking great, possible price cuts next year" href="http://www.qj.net/More-from-the-Sony-staff-meeting-God-of-War-3-looking-great-possible-price-cuts-next-year/pg/49/aid/126581"span title="More from the Sony staff meeting: God of War 3 looking great, possible price cuts next year" style="font-style: italic;"More from the Sony staff meeting: possible price cuts next year/span/a/li/ulbrbrimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/qj/ps3/~4/S6cLsMAL5YY" height="1" width="1"/

Is there a widget for Mac OS X, that reliably shows me daily updated currency exchange rates?

I need at least GBP, USD, EUR, RMB. Other currencies are bonus, but not essential.
