Ain't gonna happen this thime me thinks. With PS2 we had a line around the entire block of the biggest department store in Helsinki - I was seventh in the line. Same for Wii (well, except that I imported mine to avoid being NOE-screwed again). With PS3 at 680 eur in March, I see absolutely no chance whatsoever of that happening
The free copy of Casino Royale is confirmed as a retail version.Midas said:Don't forget that we're talking about Sony.

So who has a PAL BD release list?
Kingdom of Heaven is definetly going to be mine.
But not so sure about the rest. I'll probably just see what's good and buy on impulse at this rate.
and I hate you guys for reminding me of wireless kb/mouse.
dammit. that's another 200 i'm gonna be out of ;o

I am in Victoria and they were able to price match.
Just print it out and take it to either EB or Gametraders, not sure if Harvey Norman do price match.

pre ordered my ps3 with resistence and motorstorm from amazon...oblivion is a temptation down the road, but I have okami to play and SOTC, FFXII and MGS3 to finish as well as RE4....I think these need to be completed first hehe

That Myer $1200 coupon that I mentioned earlier? That they advertised in their catalogue?
They don't even know what's it in. You have to trust that its good. As in, you purchase it and hopefully whatever % off the games will bring it down to the level of say a game selling at JBhifi, BigW/Kmart (tend to be cheaper).. Which means you end up saving nothing?
Quite the risk. Will enquire again closer to launch but who knows....

edit - late!
The PSN pricing looks very good, even if just for the 'introductory period' - whatever that is. Tekken should be cheaper than it was/is on the Japanese store for example (I presume it will be at the top-end of the given scale at 9.99).
Also kind of funny after all the speculative doom-mongering about PS3 games prices, particularly in Europe, that the RRP in the UK is £5 less than 360 first party RRPs, and the same as Wii.

Anyone know anything about the demo units going into the big shops?
There's one in the crappy games exchange, but when are they going to be in HMV, Virgin - with nice high def tellys?

I have a backup if the WiFi does not work with my Netgear WGT624.
Like the colour?
you should get one of those in the 60GB pack. At least my Japanese 60GB PS3 had an ethernet cable with it.
As for bluray discs, try http://bluray.lindsite.dk/ which shows which discs are region free. A surprising number of US discs will work on a UK/EU PS3.
Sony have just confirmed that they will be releasing first party games in the UK with an RRP of £39.99 - compared to first party games RRP of £44.99 (the article is incorrect) on 360.
Will be interesting to see if third parties follow suit - on 360 third party games still have RRPs of £49.99.
Still, 360 games can all be picked up for £39.99 or less in Tesco/HMV/anywhere online. In fact, Crackdown is £37.99 in Tescos. So perhaps MS are already following suit in a pre-emptive strike?

Most places have Sony games for AU$89.95, the price of the SIXAXIS is a joke though.

Retailers often under-cut RRPs, but it's a retailer thing..MS hasn't changed their RRP for now.
Hopefully the same retailers will undercut PS3 games' RRP, but I guess we will see. The likes of Amazon and Play do undercut Wii game RRPs by £5 also despite them being lower already, so hopefully that's a good sign PS3 can expect similar treatment.

This has probably been answered before, but can i connect an external USB2.0 hard drive to the PS3 and view movies, music, etc from there?
Good to see 1st party titles at £39.99 RRP, and retailers have taken the bait, even if they are being very misleading about it (play.com for instance saying that £39.99 is £10 off the RRP, blatant mis-selling and hopefully will be sorted).
One thing I am worried for Sony here is the Blu-Ray appeal, if the US market can be called "fledgling", then the UK market would have to be called Non-Existant, when even ASDA tries to hock off Blu_ray for £29.97, this may cause Sony some major issues, frankly they can't market this PS3 as a Blu_Ray device yet as the masses won't even have a clue what it is and it would only serve to confuse the mass marsket consumers.
The PS3 will launch well, sell out easily to start, but I see after 3 months or so a stutter to absolutely disastrous crash if all Sony can manage in the next few months is 360 ports, they won't be able to rely on Blu-Ray, and the masses would look at the neglible differences between the PS3 and 360 graphically and question why Sony want £150 more for their console.

I have to say, although I use my lcd tv as a monitor like you do, the size of your screen made me :lolWollan said:We have the same TV it seems. I only have one console connected at a time so at the launch day you will see a PS3 there instead of the X360:
This deal seems ok. I mean, cod3 looks like shit, so does taladega nights.
Euronics will be going lower than that(for the console anyway), I don't have the final price-point yet, but I suspect somewhere around 5500,-
Euronics stavanger will get 15 ps3s, there haven't been any pre-orders yet(cus no finalized price), so let's go camping!
Now, it's just the ****ing problem of getting the monies for it. :\ I'm buying a hdtv this month, and I have to scrape some money together to pull through. No way in hell I'm gonna be able to pay on launch. maybe I'll get a deal with the boss. Doubt it though, ****ing hates me it seems.

26.02.07 - Sony CEE hat Preise für herunterladbare Inhalte des PlayStation Network in Europa bekanntgegeben. Zur Markteinführung der PS3 sollen folgende Spiele online erhältlich sein:
- BlastFactor
- flOw
- Super Rub a Dub
- Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection
Die Preise pro Spiel liegen zwischen Euro 2,99 und Euro 9,99 - was die vier Spiele im einzelnen kosten, sagt Sony nicht.
Four games available on Launch Day. Prices fo downloadable games will range between 2,99 and 9,99 . Sony won't disclose the prices for the specific titles. So expect Tekken be 9,99 . At least Sony won't rape us with the PSN Games.
