European PS3 launch March 23?Siggy @ Jan 15, 2007 09:28 | 41 comments TBWA, an advertising agency, has told GamesIndustry.biz that the ad campaign for PS3 is running towards the end of March. This reinforces the previous rumors that the console would debut March 23 in Europe. Also a retail source is placing bets on 23, "It's safe to assume that the PS3 launch will be towards the end of the month. My money is on the 23rd."
Last month SCEE boss David Reeves confirmed that the PS3 European launch is on track, despite the rumors claiming otherwise. During the following two weeks Sony is expected to announce the launch date officially, so stay tuned.

Comment by: UHALL (Jan 16, 2007 19:16) Hey Bobby Boo you sound like a sony employee. here in the burbs of Chi town you can find all the Ps3 you can afford. No one is fighting over them I just left bb in Naperville Ill and they had 8 count them 8 for sale and no one was looking for them. I like the Ps3 graphics But 600$+ FOR A GAME SYSTEM with no HD cables, and no extra controller, and no game included is excessive and who cares if there is a BluerayDVD player built in. I could build a very nice PC tower for 600$. |

Quote: - No.
Quote: - Er, isn't this just exactly in line with some of the criticism people have been making about the PS3 being over-priced?
Quote: - Please cut out the fanboy tactic of trying to divert the issue.

Comment by: ZippyDSM (Jan 19, 2007 01:46) we doubt BR and PS3 because of the mistakes that they have made,BR future like HDVD's is unknown,however its easy to say once the PS3 has been out 2 or 3 years it will reign much like the PS2,mainly because the WII cant compete directly with it and once the price of the PS3 comes down 200 it will push even more units,the 360 is EU/USA for the most part meaning it can't sale like the PS3 can.

(I'm the old fart DAD of our house and a gadget geek all my life). I'm showing all my friends and co-workers how great our JVC HD TV is and they are starting to buy them. So when they see our PS3 and what it can do they all go nuts and say that will be what they get next. Everyone loves the Blu-ray DVD's. Surf the net play games etc... Its NEXT GEN. So as people upgrade their TV's they will see that a PS3 saves them at least $400.00 over a plain-jane Blu-ray and gives them so much more for the whole family. Kids sell it to your dads like i'm telling you here. As far as HD-DVD's go we have one of them also and Blu-ray looks a little better, besides DVD's with both formats on one DVD are coming out soon. Our HD-DVD is in our new HP computer not hooked up to our TV but hooked up to HP's HP-W22 22" LCD which is great! Also we have a WII and thats very fun but PS3 is where its all going I'M SURE OF IT seeing we have all of them to compare. So if your looking for plain old fun get a WII. If want the future now, get a PS3. Hey if a future update will turn the WII into a DVD player (coming soon) then just think what updates can do for the PS3. Myself I would like to see my home network be able to be seen from our PS3 so we can get music and TV shows taped on other computers in our house to play through our PS3, you know they can do it but will they. Come on you bright young hackers start making some cool mod's for PS3. I'd love to see someone make mod's that will work like an add on so it won't void the warranty. Good luck and have fun. Wish I was young again. You young people, when your our age, this will look like very simple and old fashion times. What a future you all will see!!!!!! |
