PS3 will not reach Europe until March

[Baboon]

This information was just broadcast on BBC Radio 1! ...Gutted, no PS3 till next year!

I haven’t bought a xbox360 cause I was holding out for the PS3, and now I hear this $#@!e news. I guess the only way to get one this year would be to import (and probably pay silly prices for the privilege).

I might even go for Nintendos new toy now instead (its seems a bargain price for a next gen console).

Boooo to Sony!

Seriously no one is going to be able to get hold of one in America or Japan anyway because of lack of supply so why screw over the PAL region?

I'm officially giving up on PS3. I'm going for a Wii. Third is at least the 3rd delay (that I've heard of) and i've had enough of Sony screwing Europe over whenever they have "mass production problems".
$ony Sux!

$ony have really screwed the pooch on this one and its going to hit them in the pockets... They're losing potential customers all the time to the XBOX360 - Christmas is going to be a Micro$oft cleanup too.. Do they think 'Little Johnny' is going to wait until next year for his next-gen console?? He wants it now and the XBOX360 is sat there beckoning him from the shelf! I sense another Betamax for $ony...

that was sony's plan from the start! when the xbox360 was launch, the ps3 was to be lanched in spring, comes up to spring and its nov! Sept and its march? so its starts from 3-4months after the 360, to 16+ months after the 360. sony are full of BS!

Anyone else having trouble looking at the details on the Euro PS3 site?

http://eu.playstation.com/ps3/

At the moment I cant look at anything other than the front page. Those web developers must be beavering away changing everything from the November details.....

I still have my BetaHiFi. (better version than the Betamax and more expensive at the time) It really was better quality than vhs. The thing was it's just like the ps3 is going to be. To expensive and not enough distribution. I don't know how many people I've heard say "Man, for that price I can get a XBOX360 AND a Wii or the same price and still have enough for a game." I was all about the ps3 as well till all this stuff started happening. Also with a shortage of Blue Ray parts I don't understand why it wouldn't affect the US or japanese launch. I guess they're using as many blue ray diodes or whatever that they can just to supply japan and the US this November. That really sucks for Europe. Sony needs to get their head out of their ass and start being more serious when it comes to Europe and the gaming market.

I bet EA and Konami are laughing all the way to the bank, MS threw a shed load of cash at them to keep FIFA and Pro Evo away from the PS3 for xmas and there was no need

[irongiant]

The only good thing about all this crap is that the euro launch games have an extra few months now to really be polished and we should get the best games at launch including Heavenly Sword.

This wouldn't have been so bad if they'd have just admitted a long time ago that a simultaneous worldwide release wasn't possible.

Pisses me off that they can't give europe 100,000 like they have Japan. Or even some a few weeks later in December.
