Playstation 3 Price

[Ox Fox]

Now been released as £425 for the top 60Gb version, gulp.

When's the release date, I heard it was put back until after Christmas. Any idea of this is true?

 

[Rayvon]

yeh true, new european date is currently slated for feb/march 07 but expect limited stocks/more delays as the US launch in november is only 400,000 units.

That's gonna cost them lots of money. Those customers that were lined up for Chrissy presents will get the Xbox 360 instead.

This will cost them millions

I have a sneaking suspicion there will be UK units for Xmas, they'll keep it down to very small numbers in order to generate the now traditional 'must have present' hype to gain loads of free PR coverage.

If that's true, which we've seen before, then it could be a dangerous game to play. Those customers that were hanging on for the PS3 may just go out and get the Xbox 360 tomorrow for fear of stocks running out at Christmas

Don't the big stores want people to place a deposit of nearly half of the £425.

If I know a tealeaf who gets hold one, I place a message here.

Thats what my cousin is doing.

Its also interesting to know that FIFA, Pro Evo and Grand Theft Auto are all contracted to Microsoft in the next 'generation' of gaming. Basically means, X-Box 360 has exculsive rights to these three games and Playstation 3 wont get them for at least six months after X-Box's version release.

Still means Playstation 2 is unaffected however.

PS3 - £435 (next year)
360 - £280 (out now)
Wii - £180 (december 8th/9th)

Its a toss up between the 360 and wii for me....

 

[Melton Fox]

I've got the 360, laarrvve it
