... Wonder when we'll see the price cuts in PAL regions? If they cull the price by £100, get bloody rumble support back into their pads and some 1/2 decent games then I'd happily jump on the PS3 bus.

Hmm... oi, Steve! Where'd you get that pic? It says 80GB/80GO in the bottom-left of the PS3 box, which is surely 80 Gigabytes/80 Giga-octets? Is it possible that they've let slip some European artwork by mistake? We might get this sooner than one might think, it that case.

Edit: regarding the price cut: ""Our initial expectation is that sales should double at a minimum," said Sony Entertainment America chief executive Jack Tretton." (from here). That guy cracks me up.
