[...] From threespeech.com (FYI: ’semi’ official Sony Blog):[QUOTE]The latest of today’s (seemingly very well-founded) rumours is that the official announcement on the launch date of the PS3 in Europe will be made next Tuesday (January 23). And as mentioned before, it’s looking highly likely that the launch date itself will be March 23.[/QUOTE] [...]

Is March the end of Sony’s fiscal year? I think so, but I’m not sure.

It would be interesting to know if that would make Sony eager to start selling in Europe or if it makes them wait til April.

I checked the Spanish site and it says 499 and 599 â‚¬ as expected. Who knows what will happen, or whether that increased price includes a game or something.

Seems as if the price of PS3 just went up by â‚¬30. At least judging by the Irish official site.

I wonder if that was the compensation for waiting impatiently…

Sony moves in mysterious ways.

[...] Het laatste (betrouwbare) gerucht is dat de officiÃ«le aankondiging op de lanceerdatum van de PS3 in Europa dinsdag aanstaande (23 januari) bekend gemaakt zal worden. En zoals eerder vermeld kijkt het zeer waarschijnlijk dat de lanceerdatum de 23 maart zijn zal (aldus ThreeSpeech) [...]

i still have a 100GB laptop disk laying around waiting for a PS3
i put the disk in an xbox360 and got banned on xbox live which is pretty crappy…

and unlike the xbox360 the PS3 is user upgradeable.
