Not so much "Europe-haters" as Euro-not-giving-a-crap-about-ers. I love Sony and the PS3, when they said we were getting a worldwide release i almost cried with joy! After that the slipped release date for Europe was like Sony had just taken a sledgehammer to my face! I won't buy another consile but i might seriously consider being cross with sony and not pre-ordering my PS3...wait i take it back, i love it too much!

*EDIT*I have overused exclamation marks in this post!

Patience young jedi. Sony made a choice based on the few units they had ready for launch, what would you have done? Released them in Europe instead of Japan? Absolutely not as Japan is their home turf. Release them in Europe but not the US? Absolutely not as the 360 is taking hold in the US and that's a huge market for Sony. The only other option was to delay the launch worldwide which would have been a monumentally bad decision.

In a few weeks time you'll be able to buy a PS3 with teething problems ironed out and a much better lineup of software available.

a few? at least another 10 weeks... unless they delay it again. Remember this time last year they they were saying they were going to have a World wide launch in Spring 06!

DESPITE the Sony Propaganda Machine© that is irongiant, I will be giving Sony another chance with the PS3. Not for the teething problems ironed out (what a bull$#@! reason, we don't like being patronised, irongiant) or the game lineup (most of which will be delayed, much like the PSP lineup) but for the linux OS. The possibilities with this are monumental.

I agree with dejkirkby, Linux is the only thing that interests me with the PS3, (bar motorstorm, which looks great)

Actually delaying a worldwide launch would have been in Sony's best interest. So they lose some market share this christmas, but they'd have had another few months or another year to work out all the bugs and deliver on everything they promised flawlessly.

I know many people who saw the PS3 launch was botched and said screw it and purchased Wiis instead. Why? Because Sony got WAY TOO MUCH bad publicity.

Imagine how well the PS3 would have done in its first week, of a worldwide launch of 2 million units next year, with near flawless hardware, inception of fully capable online abilities, etc?

Xbox and Wii would be suffering every christmas thereafter, thats for sure.
