It's Started. Get Your PS3 Order In Before They're Gone!

Sony PlayStation 3Are you one of them PlayStation die-hard fans? Have you been waiting all this time so that you can run out and buy the PS3? Have you been desperately saving up money so that you can buy the PS3 as early as possible? Well, it's time! Japanese gadget exporter, AudioCubes.com, have now started the pre-order process for everyone round the globe. Now you would remember that Sony is launching the PS3 only in North America and Japan, with Europe getting the short end of the stick because of the delay.

Now you don't have to wait for Sony to release it in your region. Since AudioCubes.com does worldwide shipping, you can just about buy a home on a secluded beach in a far away country, setup an ultimate gamers' paradise and expect your console to show up as soon as it's released.

The one thing which might look odd is the high price of $699 for the low-end 20GB model. Well, consider the fact that the PS3 was going to be sold in the European territories for 499 Euro. Do the math, and you only have to pay $70 extra. Now this might still be a bit expensive, but for those who've been desperately waiting, I'm sure this will be a godsend. And in case you're wondering, neither Lik-Sang or Play-Asia have started the pre-orders. The official launch, by the way, is on November the 11th. Get your gaming gloves on.

Quick, click on the link below to pre-order your PS3, today.

I pre ordered

I already pre-ordered one from lik sang like two months ago. I didn't need a deposit or anything. I guess they put a stop to it really quick.

No regioncode for the games from sony...

3rd party publishers can add them if they want to... and Blu-ray movies DO have a region code, so you cannot watch an american movie on an european console.

Warranty

No international warranty available, you can call anywhere your console but if you are in Europe you need a european console with a european warranty... just in case of problem ;)

What's wrong with waiting...???

+70 quids for the low-end model...??? No way!!! Guess I'll wait for march... First because I totally stand for 60g one (love the chrome logo!) Second because it's only 5 months from now.. Third because by that time there will be more games and it will be totally f***ing bug free! ...and by the way, don't believe the hype! Respect!

Regional lockout

The DVD and Blue-Ray will be regional. The games will not.

60gb

Why is the 60gb $1000? That's what I plan on getting but I thought it was supposed to be like $700 or something.

YOu Can't be serious... Are You People really this dumb

First I blame the site for even printing this stupid crap as fact... that site is not going to have any PS3's on launch so go ahead and throw away your money if you want.. 2. Are you really serious, I mean come on' $999.99 for the 60 gig... anyone not selling it for the retail price $600 is ripping you off ... I mean if you want it that bad I can sell you one for $1500 and you will get the same time this site is going to have them... March... 3. Listen mark my words this site is not going to have PS3 systems on launch... PERIOD.. don't be stupid... Best Buy is your best bet... they are the biggest chain in the US and they will recieve the most units on launch....period... and it will cost the retail price, $600 nothing more on launch. period. But if your dumb enough to send your money to a website for a pre-order then I am now taking pre-orders out the back of my trunk for $798 for premium... I'll need all cash no credit cards and no checks... email me for the address where to send the money

I'm waiting

Heh.. I could give away all thats on my Credit card and get it early (not sure when anyway) but to tell you the truth i'd better wait and look at some "REAL" gameplay videos, read what americans say about their PS3's just to be safe you know =) anything can happen. What if all of the first million consoles will burn in 2 weeks time?? + to pay 999.99$ for nothing certain..... naaahh ill wait thanks!
