PS3 to hit Hong Kong and Taiwan on November 17

Just days after news emerged that Sony has cut its shipment target for the Japanese launch of PS3, it's been announced that the console will hit Hong Kong and Taiwan on November 17.

According to an article on Digitimes.com, the announcement was made by Tetsuhiko Yasuda, managing director for Sony Computer Entertainment Asia.

He said the 60GB model will be priced at TW$17,980 (EUR 425) in Taiwan, while the 20GB version, which won't go on sale until December, will cost TW$14,980 (EUR 355).

Although Yasuda did not offer any shipment projections for Hong Kong and Taiwan, he did say that SCE intends to sell 1 million PS3 units in the territories.
