PS3 definitely marching off to Europe this March

coming to Europe!It's time to put a halt to those incessant rumors that there will be yet another delay for the release of the PS3 to Europe this March. Says Jack Tretton, SCE's chief executive, "We're equally strong in all three markets. We can't afford to sacrifice any one of them."

Putting stress to the point that they are hellbent on finally getting their next-gen out there, the company remains firm that the March launch will definitely push through. No catch or anything there. Sony's Euro chief dismisses the rumors of delay, saying that it is "without foundation."

Well, this certainly is a good news to those awaiting fans in Europe. With only a couple of months to go, they'll soon join in the PS3 map. Hold on tight, guys!

Nur DAUs würden das Ding jetzt noch kaufen...

Alle Spiele sehen auf dem Teil schlechter aus, als auf der xbox360.

Und: ja, ich schreibe mit Absicht auf deutsch.

» There is a catch...

The catch is the PS3 will be released at the very end of March.... making the wait longer for us...

» ganz genau

Die ps3 hat scheiss grafik, wobei die Xbox 360 fast alle PS3 exclusive bekommt (Virtuafighter, Tekken, MGS, Final Fantasy - das sin nur ein paar von all den exclusives)

hopefully it will be released in the first week of march, or by march 9th at the latest. I can't wait to get my hands on this.

» At last.

I've not been pining for it as much as i first thought when i found out that it was going to be delayed.



I'm glad its going to be here for March though. Hopefully they have made good use of the extra time and will have a flawless launch for us Euro's.

for as far as i know its region free, right ? for games anyway



why not import one from america, that will save you lots of money if the ps3 were to sell for 600 euro's. Looking at the dollar exchange rate to the euro.

at the moment that would be only 460euros for a ps3 60GB model. Excluding shipping costs ofcourse.

@ FloW3184 und Noin



Wenn ihr die PS3 so scheiße findet bleibt auf euer xbox site, 360 fanboys...

's große Mowl kann jeder haben...

Außerdem passt das nicht zum Thema! Hier gehts um den Release und NICHT, ich wiederhole, NICHT um die Grafik!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

» that's a bad deal

sony said the 60 gig model will be sold to Europe at 420 euros. Why would you pay me

by PlayStayShun - 2007-01-08 06:52
» Nope

Sony said the PS3 will sell in Europe for 599 euros, which is £425 in the UK.

» import

if you import a ps3 from america you won't be able to watch european blu-ray-movies 'cuz of the region-code. So it would be better to import one from Japan, they got the same region-code. (2)

Besides that it wouldn't be much cheaper because of taxes you'll usually have to pay.

» Man soll Trolle zwar nicht füttern... aber:

ich kaufe weder xbox360, noch PS3. (für sowas hab ich'n PC)

Ich fand nur die news lustig, da ich glaube, dass die PS3 es trotzdem nicht bis märz hierher schafft.

» no profit on ebay

There is no money to be made on ebay anymore... so I wouldn't worry about that... I think that Sony is going to have a vast amount of hardware lined up for the euro launch.... walk down the street to your local superstore and buy a ps3.... how nice that would be
