Bad Form
So I'm not really that up on modern games systems and what not. But news today of Sony delaying the European launch of the Playstation 3 to March 2007 seems seriously bad going on their part.

You would have thought they'd think their technology through before hyping everyone up. Not only do they miss the Christmas rush, but they'll totally lose out to the Wii - which i am intending on investing in cos I enjoy fun things.

I guess they can rely on the uber-keens to just buy US consoles, then buy a European one when that comes out.

But anyway. For the obscene amount of money sony are going to be demanding for this (I've heard rumours of £400+), I can't see why anyone would actually run out and get it ... they'd get driven there by their chauffeur.

They could stop living in backwards countries and come to the almighty US.

Problem solved.

The US is a backwards country.

£500+ for a premium pack or you can get a 360 a Wii and a hand full of games for the same price BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

I believe that the PS3 was supposed to be Region free. I thought I saw a press-release on that but don't quote me on that cause I am probably wrong.


Besides PS3 only has one game that interests but it is Metal Gear, so it is hard to resist.
