Default PS3 Preorders and Midnight Launches

Who is preordering their PS3 and where are you preordering from?

The only advertisement I have seen so far is from Toy’s R Us which is offering 50% off any one launch game if you preorder.

from what i read

$850 for a 20GB

$999 for a 60GB

thats the prices i quoted from Sony Central Sydney. Is that the same price as Toys R Us ???

Im probably going to get my friend to carry me one over from HK. 60GB + 2 controllers + 3 games for around the $850 mark

No 20GB in Australia.

The 60 gigabyte model of PS3 will be priced at 599 euros, 425 British pounds, 999.95 Australian dollars, and 1199.95 New Zealand dollars, according to Sony Computer Entertainment spokesman Nanako Kato.

Initially, only the 60GB model will be available in these markets, with the lower-end 20GB version to follow later this year depending on demand, the company said in a statement dated Thursday.

I cancled my pre-order last year.

The game lineup is a lot better for europe/other than it was for japan/NA, but a lot of the release games are on Xbox360 already or will be at launch.

Wish i could just fastforward in time to the pricedrops and whiteknight and other good jap rpgs.

The main Sony PS3 Australian site is http://au.playstation.com. A list of games which are being released at launch can be found here http://au.playstation.com/news/ps3launchdate.jhtml. I’m thinking that I should get Resistance and Formula One Championship at launch however I might also add MotorStorm pending approval from the Minister of War and Finances.

Also now is the time to buy cheap HDMI cables since the PS3 does not come with Hi Definition cables.

Are you serious? I reckon it's a bit unfair claiming to be all high-def then not supplying the cables, especially considering the price of the unit.
