Malta - Image 1 


While the folks at London enjoyed HDTV screens, people in Paris, France got a good glimpse of the Xbox hearts you riverboat, and folks at Durban, South Africa got their midnight launch cancelled because retailer's orders didn't make it to the store (thank god for the demo units at the launch), and various folks around the world bought beer, the folks of Malta were a bit more appreciative and direct.

Games Radar writes: "PlayStation 3 sold out in Malta, and was the fasting-selling gaming brand in the country's history, with all 250 of the consoles sent to the small island snapped up almost immediately. Can Xbox 360 make the same boast?"

If we can now somehow trade Malta's interest with Australia's. Hmm...

Bye Bye Poor Malta

I just heard a guy dropped a piece of ice out of his martini glass from his boat and its melting fast! I hope the rising water don't affect them though :D

LMAO

Ahaha im Maltese Australian :P I swear,, if Sony actually hyped the PS3, and did a massive advertising campaign, people would have actually known it was released last thursday. Seriously, only a few retailers advertising in newspapers, and a harvey norman commercial with the PS3 'on fire', because its "hot, hot, hot" was pathetic. Knowing Sonys massive userbase here in Oz you would have thought there would have been a massive buildup..

only a handful of ausis went to the launch. but hey, they will soon find out about ps3 when the games coming out are also from ps3 by then they will buy one and retire their ps2's.

folding@home

If you download and use folding@home you can see a general nightlight of PS3 using it. It may be only a fraction, but you can tell as an average rating which country has PS3. US by far is using folding home and Europe is mainly UK and France. The rest of the world area small dots.
