We don't have to repeat and remind you about the bumps Sony went through for the PS3 European launch. That journey was filled with disappointments, but it did pay off. Sort of. So we guess, we can't really blame the fans and our friends in Europe if these things are still very much vivid in their heads.

To tell you the truth, fears of another delay, last minute changes, and whatnots are still imminent. Everyone is hoping that March 23 will come without any shocking news from the company. To put an end to these all, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) Head of PR David Wilson gave these words for every single fans back there: "It is our aspiration that all of the 30 titles mentioned in our announcement will be available at launch of PlayStation 3 on 23rd March."

There. You shouldn't be bothered by those thoughts now. Anyway, in case you missed all 30 launch titles, we are giving you a rundown once more. Better check this with your own list and see if you've got everything covered:

great and Casino royale

much much better than the US line up. P.S. i thought you guys would like to know that the first 500,000 PS3's registered in Europe will get a free copy of casino royale on blu ray

A better lineup but the US gets the same games in march as well so really no loss to us. Those in the UK were better off waiting, Getting Casino Royale is a much better movie then Ricky Bobby.

.

You can bet $ony will count those 500,000 movies toward blu ray "sales." See how easy it is to win when you lie. Keep up the great work $ony!

that's a better lineup?

Well, at least there's Resistance. I don't know how long that single good game can carry the PS3. The rest are games I've never heard of or half-assed ports from the XBOX 360 released 9 months ago. Yeah PS3 you will rock in Europe!

Didn't the European CEO Howard Stinger say the European launch was in april? I guess he's another sony higher up that doesn't have a clue what's going on. Hopefully the game list didn't come from him if he still works there.

@ Common

lol You're such a hater!!! If it were up to you the Ipod would have been scrapped 3 months after it launched. (b/c it was "so expensive") The IPOD is a major success and its sales weren't all that impressive after 2 months either. Chillax man, the PS3 hasn't even found its legs yet.

Common

um... well those BR movies aren't free... Sony is swallowing the cost... thus they are "sold" of course they would count them as sales Ya know, you might be the second biggest fanboy on this site... a notch below the 12 year olds who post "ps3/360 pwns!!!!" and then run off

mommys mad

Your'e such a bad boy. I thought I tought you better than that. Ha your'e such a flamer. You say you've never heard of most of those games? Are you living under a rock or maybe your'e just that ignorant. Half ass ports? There's like eight games that are already out on 360 and the ps3 versions are either equal or better. Maybe your jealous the 360 launched with 2/3 less games wich were pretty much crap or maybe there's an extensive build up of sand in your'e vag and you can't get it out. Trolling around posting in the ps3 news sections, doing nothing but trash talking shows your either a jealous fanboy, sad because your 360 broke again or just need to get a life. Remember mommy knows best.

noooo

they won't. It would go against 2 other much better NBA games. They are covering about every genre, I'm surprise to see no soccer game. March is going to be very good for Sony!

Why complain

STFU already. You don't see the 400,000 copies of talledega nights on the list of current bluray sales, do you? Why would they include the 500,000 copies (damn that is a lot) given away to the uk? Although, do you get a free hd-dvd with your purchase of that crappy xbox drive? Gee, xbox 360 plus hd dvd drive equals,,, spending as much as a ps3 !! good work moron. And why do people complain about price. Holy *****, its a few hundred bucks. If you really can't afford that, go to school and get a better job, because your life must suck. Even minimum wage workers got a nice healthy increase recently, they can buy a ps3 too! If you can't stop wasting money on crack and budweiser you don't deserve the ps3.
by - 2007-02-12 16:05:48
yes the ps3 is expensive

you pay for quality and thats wat u will get ut ur a freak for saying all that who are you to say somewones life sucks your life must suck it all you do is sit there and complain about people complaining fckin lil shi t.
by - 2007-02-12 16:09:17
nah thats not it

I just read a few posts here every day and try to throw down a reply when that moron mr common sense posts something. lol... And really. If you can't afford a PS3, you should be doing something different. Whats wrong with that statement?

Truth + NOT here

Hang on a minute have you seen how much more the PS3 costs in the UK than elsewhere ? What exactly have they swallowed in the UK?..
by Mister Common Sense - 2007-02-13 06:54:37
The PS3 doesn't deserve me buying things for it

I can easily afford a PS3. That is not an issue. I don't smoke crack or drink, I just smoke weed. I seriously have no idea what I would use a PS3 for. I have a nice dual core processor computer, much better than the PS3's half-assed linux functionality. I have an XBOX 360 I use often. It has 160+ games while PS3 has about 25, with 20 of those available on the 360 much earlier. The 360 has proven its power, and the PS3 can sometimes match it, but never exceed it. I don't want a HD movie player at this time, thanks Microsoft for not making me pay more for one when I want to play games. Seriously, why the hell would I want a PS3? In my opinion, the thing is useless. Am I a moron for not buying things I already have that are so much more useful?
by Mister Common Sense - 2007-02-13 06:57:24
.

What's with this attitude "if you can afford a PS3 you're a moron if you don't buy it?" I guess only a sony fanboy would understand...
by - 2007-02-13 08:00:52
um...

the cost of the BR movies? ya know 500k of them? There are reasons for the high price in the UK. Look them up ;)
