PlayStation 3 in Europe

27th March 2007

Just a few hours ago, the release of a console PlayStation 3 took place in the regions where the standard of telecasting is PAL format. Here refer countries in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa. Some details are already known. Thus, in Britain, where Xbox has traditionally strong positions, a line appeared only for 36 hours before the launch. However, according to BBC, the first more than 100 buyers got free 46-inch plasmic TV costing about $ 5,000, and again for free took it home by taxi. Sony has expended by estimation more than half a million dollars. However, also by preliminaries, the sellers are more than pleased with the demand for this Console. In France an interesting case has also occurred. TVs have not been distributed, but Microsoft Corporation (or its supporters) made guerrilla sortie, sending to the place of console release a big boat (more alike to barge), drown with logos and symbols of Xbox 360. Rather quietly, as always earlier, took place a release in Australia. No extraordinary news has been reported from there yet.
