I hate lines. - Image 1Looks like that pre-launch meeting between Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) and retailers have sorted itself out with regards to launch allocations and preorders. We've had snippets of various PS3 preorders in Europe - a couple of which tosses in a PSP in exchange for priority position in the line - but never the complete (as of now) list.

Three Speech, with the help of one of their readers, was able to compile a list of UK online outlets including those with active preorders and those that are registering names for preorder notification (a.k.a. "sit tight, we'll tell you when").

It's a bit of old news for some (hey, it's a compiled list, remember), but it's nice to have the info all in one place. Won't be as nice to visit the stores on the list only to find pre-order lines already in place, but at least it's nicer than lining up late on Launch Day.

Places taking pre-orders NOW:
  • Play.com - Bundle with 3 games @ £549.99
  • Gamestation - £424.99
    • *Please note these two have been available for quite a while - therefore it is likely that there may be a large queue.
  • HMV.co.uk - 5000 bundles on sale, PSP (2 games and 4gb memory stick) + PS3 pre-order = £674.99 (HMV are also taking pre-orders in store! £100 deposit required).
  • Argos.co.uk - are now taking pre-orders! £424.99.

Places taking registration for pre-order notification:

  • HMV.co.uk
  • Currys.co.uk
  • PCworld.co.uk
  • Dixons.co.uk
  • Game.co.uk
  • Amazon.co.uk
  • Argos.co.uk
  • Littlewoods.com
  • Comet.co.uk
  • Gameplay.co.uk
  • Woolworths.co.uk

I will wait

I was going to get one but now I am waiting to see if the 360 Zephyr is going to be released,at the moment it looks to be a bargain that is if the roumered price is true.

That price is huge this is meant to be a games machine

Bundle with 3 games @ £549.99 !!!! WHAT !!!!!!!. What 3 amazing games can justify that price? . or does that also include a free HD TV or something...

Idiot.

Look at the amount of money that import tax and VAT puts on it. A lot of that is not Sony's fault, blame the government.
