    GC 2006 :: No working PS3 in Liepzig as Sony shares fall
    PS3s not even plugged in, analysts predicting lower shipment forecasts and shares dropping. Not a good day for Sony.

    Check out the Headline for more info.

    Another blow to the George Foreman Lean mean gaming machine.

    I think I'm a bit late to realise it but play.com have nudged the pre-order price to £549 with 3 games now but can't guarantee Xmas delivery.

    When you give people bairly useful, expensive, features like Blue-Ray and way more cores than they need the price will allways be a problem.

    It works and it doesn't melt the case. Nobody was expecting that with all the problems Sony was having getting it into the case.

    Not really a suprise seeing as Sony stated quite well ahead of the event that it wouldn't be playable at GC2006, and that the first hand-on will be at the TGS at the end of September.
