Lucky buggers, I guess being a fanboy was going to pay off eventually

[Koolpc]

I will wait till they come down in price to approx £49.99!! lol

Loved that URL Nice bit of marketing.. very sly..

I should hope they rewarded those daft enough to be first in line for a console you can still order over the net

Has anyone looked on ebay yet. It's flooded with the things and some of the buy it now prices are ridiculous. Don't think I've seen one go for more than £430, or about the same price I can go and get one from ebuyer for delivered.

All those chumps who's queued to buy 6 of the things are gonna be crying all the way to the bank.

Everywhere in Leiceset has them in stock now, walk in and pick one up job.

Its the first console launch I can remember where you can walk into any shop and pick on up on launch day, good thing for customers, bad thing for Sony.

the thing is that they diddnt even make much consoles for us european gamers.infact it was a big thing has they could only supply 2/3 mill across the whole of europe? correct me if im wrong but if those dont get sold out than surely this is a very BAD start.

Microsoft/nintendo must be lauging their heads off, no wonder why Microsoft diddnt bother cutting the price down/releasing halo 3 right about this time because they knew ps3 is not a threat. WII is!!!

Yeah its really generous of Sony, if you sold the TV you could buy a 360 so you could play some proper games!

<waits for flaming>

i noticed alot of places in leeds seem to have stock. also the shops seemed kind of empty this morning - any way sony try to spin it the response seems a little muted
