PS3 to be released in Australia for AU$ 999.95 |

Gamers down under, mark your calendars. Sony has finally given the Australian PS3 launch a date, and it's going to be on March 23. The company has also confirmed the launch price for their new console, which will be AU$ 999.95 (US$ 778). The price is a bit lower than the European price of GBP 425 (US$ 835), but it still makes the PS3 easily the most expensive console in the market.Only the 60GB PS3 will be available initially, with the 20GB model becoming available later in the year if there is sufficient demand to warrant its inclusion in the line-up. That right there is your cue to start pestering your friendly neighborhood Sony representative about making the 20GB version available in your territory.
The PS3 will also launch in other PAL regions - Europe, the middle east, Africa and New Zealand - on the same day it launches in Australia. Sony says that around one million units will be available for the worldwide launch. That number will be accompanied by around 30 game titles.

The eurpean price is 599 EUR for the 60GB model, that currently translates to 776,54 USD, just about the same as in Australia.
The discussion, why console prices in europe are higher, is as old as consoles itself and i won't go into that now.

a xbox 360.
they are f_ _ _ _ _ _g dreaming if they think we are going to buy it for that price.
frankly no one gives a ***** about blue ray. we think dvds are just fine.
what we complain about is that we need better movies.
cant believe the strategy of sony is to force an expensive blue ray player onto the masses.
