Sony: 44,000 PlayStation 3s (PS3) pre-ordered in Benelux |
Ó
The PlayStation 3 (PS3) is fast picking up momentum in Europe, and a Sony product manager states that roughly 44,000 PS3 units have already been pre-ordered in the Benelux region.In case you're wondering where Benelux is, it's an economic union of three Western Europe Countries: Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg - that's the unofficial Benelux flag to the right.
Sony has promised 50,000 units for the region, which means that almost 90% of Benelux's allocated units are now reserved as pre-orders. A total of one million PS3 units are being prepared for Europe, with Sony recently announcing plans to ship a total of 6 million units by the end of this March.
The PS3 is expected to launch on March 23 for an estimated price of £ 425 (€ 620), with the event being spearheaded by an official midnight launch at Virgin Megastores' Oxford Street branch in the UK, with similar activities being prepared by retail stores elsewhere in Europe. There is also the PS3's upcoming PlayStation Home feature to look forward to, which offers the console an avatar-based online community that has been compared to the Nintendo Mii community and Second Life - public beta tests for Home are currently being readied.

yup, got the PS3 per-ordered, i know many people in the Sony business here so I've had no problem getting one (or more)
I hope i'll get it a day sooner or immediately at delivery
