European PS3 release date confirmed - March 23rd

So its been announced. Not particulary surprising but at least it is the definite day PS3's will be on shelves down my road. I probably wont buy one right away, I dont even have half the amount of money I need. I guess the good coming from this delay is that the launch line-up is great. Im gagging for Virtua Fighter 5, and seeing as its a launch title, its going to be even harder for me to resist buying one. Hopefully someone I know will buy one, so I can rob their PS3 for a day or two to at least know what its like.

Yes.

I think Tekken 5 DR will be properly downloadable on day 1 for you guys as well. I skimmed through a list earlier, the delay was definitely able to bring a bigger lineup.

I'll wait for MGS4 to come out b4 buying one, $1200 is a bit too much at the moment

I heard that the UK release price is £425 and they're only releasing the 60GB model.

You heard right. Although Im disappointed the 30GB model isnt available. Its not like the 360, the core model didnt have a hard drive at all, the PS3 core model still has 30GB's. 30GB's is enough for some people. It would of been for me.

I thought it was 20GB for the core model?

I'm looking very much forward to its release - I'm not sure when I'll buy one, though.

By the way, where do you find a list of the launch titles for the European release (the downloadable games as well)?

The 'lite' version has a 20 GB hard drive, not 30.

and the 20 GB one is hardly worth it anyways.

Why aren't there any Nintendo fanboys bashing the PS3 yet
