INTRODUCTION
____________________________________________________________________

LAUNCH DATE: (Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Middle East, Africa) Friday March 23rd

In September Sony decided to delay the PS3 release in the PAL regions to the dismay of many. March was the period given for launch and even that was doubted by a few until
January of this year when the launch date was announced. The wait has not been in vain though as unlike the regions which got the console last year, we won't suffer from a small library of games on day one among some other infant problems (we do however have to suffer being the first customers who get a PS3 without the PS2 chipset making our PS2 BC a bit shaky from day one though 72% of the games will be compatible at launch including GOW2 with more updates coming).

For day one there is promised around 30 games, one million consoles and a significant firmware update. It is clearly the best launch in the history of PlayStation and if you want one, chances are that you will get one. Another thing is that you can reserve your online ID right now if there's a special name you want. Also, the 500 000 first to sign onto the PSNetwork (with their actual console) will receive the Casino Royale Blu-ray movie (actual retail version) for free. First party games will be offered for a lower price than the rest and there's a introductory period for PSN games with lower prices in that area as well. There are big promises for later this year as well with many truly epic and exclusive games and not to mention Sony's revolutionizing Home service coming this fall. Sony are kick starting their reach in the PAL countries and everyone is invited to the party.

European PLAYSTATION 3 First Party Software Pricing Announced


London, 26 February 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced pricing details for its first party title launch line-up, to accompany the 23rd March 2007 launch of PLAYSTATION®3.

Providing details of the prices to be charged for first party software available on both disc and through the PLAYSTATION®Network1, SCEE confirmed that its five disc based launch titles, including the highly acclaimed Motorstorm™ and Resistance: Fall of Man™ will be priced at an RRP of €59.99 (£39.99, AUD 99.95, NZ 109.95).

In addition to the disc based games SCEE also announced that exclusive and innovative experiences developed especially for download from the PLAYSTATION®Network such as BlastFactor, flOw and Super Rub a Dub, together with iconic gaming brands such as Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection will be made available for an introductory period at prices which range from €2.99 to €9.99 (Edit:
GBP 1.99 to GBP 6.99) depending on the specific title.

Other first party content available on the PLAYSTATION®Network such as game items and premium video content will be priced on an easy to understand sliding scale of charges starting as low as €0.99 and increasing depending on the scope of the product. This could range from a new SingStar track to a premium pack for MotorStorm, which would include a new track, additional vehicles, liveries and multiplayer modes.

In announcing these prices, David Reeves, President and CEO of SCEE said, “Not only will it be completely free to register on the PLAYSTATION®Network with no subscription fees and access to many free demos, but with these competitive prices for additional content we are able to offer the consumer both top quality games on Blu-ray discs and a whole range of downloadable content from the PLAYSTATION®Network.

Thanks to Amir0x for creating the US/JP launch thread which I have used as a template.

 

[FlyinJ]

Is Virtua Tennis 3 coming out in the US at the same time?

 

[Wollan]

Is Virtua Tennis 3 coming out in the US at the same time?

March 20th for the US.

 

[Yoshichan]

Stickied?

Great thread.

 

[Rody]

Nice thread.

 

[Bad_Boy]

I've asked before, but I don't think I've ever got answered on it. But is that list of titles day one? or the list of titles that will span over a couple weeks or so? Pretty nice list either way imo.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Best launch lineup ever.

Pity about the price.

 

[Wollan]

I've asked before, but I don't think I've ever got answered on it. But is that list of titles day one? or the list of titles that will span over a couple weeks or so? Pretty nice list either way imo.

I think they originally said launch window but then they also promised over 30 games at launch day (there's 37 games there). Maybe one or two won't be there on day one but we're not certain which one (if any of them, the must haves and the network titles are 'locked' though).

 

[BlueTsunami]

THIS IS PLAYSTATION®3!

Alright thanks. Kinda worried about R6V not being there, I have a feeling it will get delayed to april like the psp version was.

 

[jax (old)]

I'm now extremely iffy about my PS3 purchase. Still waiting on deals but the BC news has had a MAJOR impact on my desire to own one.

Can aussies post deals?

Right now here's what I know:





HarveyNorman + Domayne

have cashback deals but only if you get a home theatre system or Bravia with the ps3s. Not sure if this is good or not. Not so great if you need neither. Values of cashback ranges from $600-400.

Target + Toyrus

same deal. Preorder a PS3 and get $50 off a game

Myer

This might be the best or not. But preorder a console and get a coupon of up to $1200 value. Got to check out what's in the coupon thing though





I'm personally keen on:

RESISTANCE
VF5
MOTORSTORM
FLOW

I don't get how OBLIVION is a must get. It bored me to tears on the xbox360.

 

[CurlySaysX]

Pre ordered mine yesterday!
Resistance and Motorstorm aswell.
I will be the first PAL PS3 gamer to log onto PSN, and guarantee my Casino Royal movie.
24 Days to go. Cant wait!

 

[Wollan]

I'm now extremely iffy about my PS3 purchase. Still waiting on deals but the BC news has had a MAJOR impact on my desire to own one.

It's nothing you can get around though as this is how it will be going forward (with NA & Japan to follow very soon probably). The bc will improve with firmware updates though.

 

[jax (old)]

The bc will improve with firmware updates though.

well, did sony say this? I tell you this... "will improve" easily equates to "hold off purchase til its improved"

I don't want to get into this too much here but Sony might be able to pull it off... their PSX/PSP emulation software is top class.

 

[Raistlin]

:lol

 

[CurlySaysX]

Hey there, JAX.

Print the following and take it to any EB, and they will price match, or if you have a Gametraderes close to you try them first.

Also, if you live in Queensland and live close to the Indooripilly Harvey Norman they have a preorder special of - PS3 console, One game of your choice and one extra SIXAXIS controller. $999 if you pre order.

 

[Wollan]

well, did sony say this?

They said so in the official press release but they also said they would focus on PS3 software in the future so who knows. They said they would keep releasing updates to it for the time being though and the March firmware patch already has the first update.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I'm genuinely excited for you PAL gamers.

The last 3+ months with the PS3 have been wonderful. Sure, there haven't been a bunch of big games (I was use to that from the PS2 launch), but games like Resistance, RR7, and the PSN... and especially Blu-Ray in 1080p, have made this very memorable so far.

Enjoy lads. It's worth the wait.

 

[regs]

Although i don't live in the UK, I am honestly thinking of buying a ps3, not really that many games that interest me are on the direct horizon. I want to play resistance but I want more right now to justify all the spending. It's so tempting though lol

 

[Mar]

I couldn't be less interested in a console launch to be totally honest. The price for entry is just too steep for me. I'll be waiting until Silent Hill 5 is released. Then I'm all over the PS3 like some guy who's all over something.

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

The last 3+ months with the PS3 have been wonderful. Sure, there haven't been a bunch of big games (I was use to that from the PS2 launch), but games like Resistance, RR7, and the PSN... and especially Blu-Ray in 1080p, have made this very memorable so far.

I'm interested in the console, but I'll wait for more games. The only one I'm interested in is Resistance, and having tried it on a jap console, it isn't something I'm dying for: I can wait. Probably next christmas will be the right moment.

 

[Wollan]

Regarding the follow up until summer it looks like L.A.I.R (May), SingStar (May), Warhawk (June) and Heavenly Sword (June?) may be some first party offerings.

 

[Wollan]

I don't get how OBLIVION is a must get. It bored me to tears on the xbox360.

I would have the same feeling about VF5 I think. These games are unquestionably genre best though atm.

 

[Zaptruder]

PS3 + sixaxis + remote + 4 launch games + 2-3 BD titles + 3-4 network games = 1 broke Zap ;o

 

[antiloop]

Good job.

 

[Midas]

PS3 + sixaxis + remote + 4 launch games + 2-3 BD titles + 3-4 network games = 1 broke Zap ;o

Haha, that's a lot of money. I'm getting two of three games one extra sixaxis and the BR remote. I'm not sure if there will be any movies I want to get that day.

 

[Forsete]

Now I want that BD remote again. HELP ME! MUST STOP SPENDING MONEY!

I already have bought these items

Resistance FoM
MotorStorm
Logitech keyboard
SixAxis
HDMI cable
2x BD-films
~70USD to spend on PSN.

Nice thread wollan.

 

[feezel]

I've preordered a PS3, Motorstorm and Resistance. Planning on getting Oblivion soon too. Can't wait!

But... you guys are giving me way too many ideas on how I can spend more money

 

[Phife Dawg]

So any word on when the 20G version is going to get released? I mean other than, "middle of the year", "when demand for the 60G dies down" type of information.

 

[Viddie]

Pre ordered mine yesterday!
Resistance and Motorstorm aswell.
I will be the first PAL PS3 gamer to log onto PSN, and guarantee my Casino Royal movie.
24 Days to go. Cant wait!

How are you going to guarantee that?

 

[Midas]

I'm thinking about taking the day off from work, just so I can pick up my PS3 and play the whole day.

 

[Wollan]

So any word on when the 20G version is going to get released? I mean other than, "middle of the year", "when demand for the 60G dies down" type of information.

No date set. I wouldn't expect it before this autumn though to be honest because right now Europe is a big budget savior due to the valuta differences and since the earnings are better on the 60GB version (in production the additional equipment doesn't cost 100$ more) they will probably wait til after summer before releasing the 20GB version I would guess.

How are you going to guarantee that?

If you log in by the first 12 hours I would consider that Blu-ray secured. I don't expect all consoles to sell through on the first day (I'm expecting one week actually to cross 800k) and you also got to figure in all those consoles not logged on at launch day.

 

[iapetus]

I'm thinking about taking the day off from work, just so I can pick up my PS3 and play the whole day.

Screw that - mine is being delivered to my place of work. How much work I'll actually do that day is debatable - I suspect my PS3 will replace the office Wii for the day.

 

[warthog]

I have a day off at work on launch and pre-ordered my PS3. I'll be probably getting Motorstorm and Resistance. flOw is also a must-have for me.

Too bad I don't have a HDTV yet, but I'll get 1 in 6 months time or so.

 

[reminder]

Great Thread Wollan. I'm definitely there at launch.

 

[Forsete]

Btw, I have been thinking about this. Remember the wine cooler incident? I don’t want my PS3 to be a repeat of that (yes, I am paranoid).

If I place my PS3 where the fake PS3 is placed in this pic, would it be too close to the subwoofer?

I'm thinking about taking the day off from work, just so I can pick up my PS3 and play the whole day.

Same here, but I'll wait for the post delivery instead.

 

[iapetus]

Absolutely. Ideally the PS3 should be in a separate building. If possible on a different continent.

 

[See]

Failed

 

[Midas]

Screw that - mine is being delivered to my place of work. How much work I'll actually do that day is debatable - I suspect my PS3 will replace the office Wii for the day.

Haha, if I had a TV at work, that might've worked. When I think about it. I know we have several LCD's. But I wouldn't want to have hundreds of people touching my brand new PS3. :lol

Same here, but I'll wait for the post delivery instead.

I'm getting mine at Webhallen, stupid to pay for shipping if you live near.

I don't want to be a party pooper but has anyone seen this?
PS3 Song

Yeah, we've seen that. Why did you post it here though?

 

[Forsete]

Absolutely. Ideally the PS3 should be in a separate building. If possible on a different continent.

Hmm.. Ok, I might have to build a bunker also right? Damn SONY and your hidden costs.

I'm getting mine at Webhallen, stupid to pay for shipping if you live near.

Fri Frakt från DiscShop.

But yeah, Webbis has a very nice deal.

 

[See]

Yeah, we've seen that. Why did you post it here though?

I posted it here because it is the latest PS3 post... I just saw it and I thought it was funny.

 

[Rabid Wolverine]

Hey there, JAX.

Print the following and take it to any EB, and they will price match, or if you have a Gametraderes close to you try them first.

Also, if you live in Queensland and live close to the Indooripilly Harvey Norman they have a preorder special of - PS3 console, One game of your choice and one extra SIXAXIS controller. $999 if you pre order.

Has anyone out of Perth been able to get any store to match the gametraders special ?

 

[Haunted]

Hmm.. Ok, I might have to build a bunker also right? Damn SONY and your hidden costs.

:lol 'bunker not included'



Great OP, thanks Wollan - I love official threads.

Launch-line-up looks ace for those who'll be there day one.

 

[Stillmatic]

Great thread! I've had my PS3 pre-ordered and paid off for about 7 months. Makes the wait even worse when you know you've paid for the thing. XD

HDMI cables are a lot cheaper than what i was expecting, some prices for my fellow NZ folk.

http://www.gpstore.co.nz/Games/1537999.html
http://www.gpstore.co.nz/Games/1537784.html

Not sure of the quality though...

 

[Defuser]

Anybody gonna help GAF by bring a videocam along for the launch?
So we can :O at the massive lines and crowds like the PS2 days when crowds are genocides.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgZl0zlka08

 

[Lobster]

They're totally raping us Aussies with the price

Ill make sure my cousin picks up Motorstorm and VF5!

What are some movies that are worth getting on Blu Ray??

 

[Midas]

They're totally raping us Aussies with the price

What are some movies that are worth getting on Blu Ray??

Black hawk down and Kingdom in heaven are the best show case titles so far, from what I've heard here on GAF, and Open Season, and Crank. There are a few.

 

[Forsete]

They're totally raping us Aussies with the price

What are some movies that are worth getting on Blu Ray??

Kingdom of Heaven and Casino Royale IMO.

 

[Wollan]

What are some movies that are worth getting on Blu Ray??

Kingdom of Heaven DC is supposed to be the current benchmark for video/sound quality. Also, the Directors Cut version of the movie itself is also supposed to be significantly better as well.

Also, if you're on the first 500 000 who log onto the network, you will get the Casino Royale BD for free by Sony.

 

[Midas]

:lol

Casino Royale, has there been any reviews of it yet?
