Please stop making fun of Sony. Believe it or not they didn't WANT to sell out. They wanted to make sure that you're average person could stroll in off of the street and have a PS3 readily availabe for them... though why they'd expect an average person to drop $(Whatever the price in Austrailia is) on a high-end luxury specialty item when the hardcore gamers won't, is beyond me.

 

Point is, they PLANNED it this way. Trust me Sony knows what they're doing. ;P

 Couldn't detect my sarcasm? I was laying it on pretty thick.

 Anyway, one of the hire ups said they Sony "didn't want to sellout at lauch" for the reason I stated... yeah... if that isn't damage control, I don't know what would be.

The $699 price is after you trade in your house and any games in it.

Who would want to wait at night outside a closed store with all that cash on them? Why do you think the US PS3 launch was so bad.DementedDragon

lmao No worries, bro.

Ehem: "...  Besides, he said Sony wanted the average consumer to be able to walk into a store and purchase a PS3 without a pre-order." - http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/988.html

Actually if you believe Sony PR the PS3 is too cheap.DaysAirlines

You could also say that the French 360 launch was a disaster, after all the ps3 preorders nearly doubled that of the 360 and the same can be said for Europe. People need to start realising a launch isn't terribly important after all the dreamcast was the fastest selling console in Europe till the DS came out. The DC launched with a 10.0 and a 9.9 and look where that ended up 2 years down the line.meischris39

Seriously? Ok. It's $699 if you trade in an Xbox or PS2 and 20 games.

Davi Reeves of Sony - ""We don't want secret shoppers to go in there and say, 'Ah, it's not out of stock, therefore it's not selling,'" he told Reuters. "Indeed, what we're trying to say is we want to make it available to the normal shopper who goes in there and says, 'Do you have PlayStation 3?', and they will say, 'Yes.' And the same for the software."
