I'm tired of hearing Euro gamers complaining about the PS3. Sony actually loves you guys more than the rest of us.

1. Sure the PS3 launch was delayed for 3 months, but that just means that you'll have fewer hardware issues because Sony's production and quality control has gotten that much better. 

2. If you think you'll be suffering the same console shortages we saw here in the West...think again. Sony has learned not to undership and PS3s will be readily available for you guys. No more PS3 related murders!!! I envy you guys!

3. Yes the backward compatability hardware in American and Japanese PS3s has been removed and your version of the PS3 will have inferior BC support.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/23/AR2007022300227.html

But as Sony has stated, you should be happy about it because Sony is focusing on future games, not past games now. Expect great things with the PS3! Sony is looking forward, not backward...up, not down....right, not left. You get the idea.

4. Yes, the price is more than we paid for it in America and Japan, but don't forget that your PS3 version has been redesigned for the future not the past! Sony cares about you so much that you get an upgraded version of the PS3 while the rest of the world is running on 3 month old hardware! Lucky you!!

Im thinking about canceling my pre order and returning all my ps2 games i just got for it, The price is higher, Theirs less in it and it gets released later yet Pal regions were the ps2 biggist market i belive, I call that a slap in the face, All this is componded by the lack of games out at the moment.

The only exclusive atm of any quality is Rfom, The march period is spose to be the kick start for the ps3 but all i see is multiplatform games and Vf which is a timed exclusive and will probaly be better on the 360, Then you got Motostorm which to me seems like a tech demo, It appears shallow it only features deserts and while the overall graphics appear good in places its standard stuff even sub par and i see it getting repetitive and stale,

All signs point into the direction that the ps3 is one of the worst launch systems ever made and only the people who have money to burn should buy one, I know i keep my pre order mainly for the Br player but i aint gona support Sony, Ill import all my games for half the rrp and wont but any hardware from sony except for the six axis and if i do buy other hardware it will be from someone elese.

You just gave us a lot of reasons not to be happy, and then told us to be happy.

Thats like taking away my food and telling me to eat.

1. Sure the PS3 launch was delayed for 3 months, but that just means that you'll have fewer hardware issues because Sony's production and quality control has gotten that much better.

Fewer hardware problems? its the same machine -a ps2 chipset, not upgraded at all

2. If you think you'll be suffering the same console shortages we saw here in the West...think again. Sony has learned not to undership and PS3s will be readily available for you guys. No more PS3 related murders!!! I envy you guys!

The shortages never happened in the US, Just lazy americans who couldn't be bothered to look further than their local walmart


3. Yes the backward compatability hardware in American and Japanese PS3s has been removed and your version of the PS3 will have inferior BC support.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/23/AR2007022300227.html

But as Sony has stated, you should be happy about it because Sony is focusing on future games, not past games now. Expect great things with the PS3! Sony is looking forward, not backward...up, not down....right, not left. You get the idea.

So far there is a glaring hole in PS3 development, sure their looking towards the future but their not doing much about it

4. Yes, the price is more than we paid for it in America and Japan, but don't forget that your PS3 version has been redesigned for the future not the past! Sony cares about you so much that you get an upgraded version of the PS3 while the rest of the world is running on 3 month old hardware! Lucky you!!

Again not upgraded. it is downgraded, they have removed chips asnd motion sensitivity. and up'd the price

1.  Considering that the PS3 in Europe has a major hardware change, it's not clear if all issues will be avoided.

2.  That's what happens when you charge so much.  If PS3 launched at $300 and $400 models, I'm sure they could go through a million on day one.  Double that and you have people looking elsewhere.

3.  You can't spin that.  The American and Japanese systems will play all the same Next gen games as the Eurpoean model.  Less games is less games, especially when PS2 was one of the best systems out there.  I could forgive them if they were promising upscaling and working towards a full collection like Microsoft did, but they haven't.

4.  The hardward revision just took out the PS2 card so we can can't play our old games.  Lucky us.

While some of your points have merit, two really stick out as being incredibly wrong. 1. There was no shortage during the US launch - That's a load, it was incredibly hard to find hence the ebay prices. Trust me, I looked all over my state for the first month, none to be had. 2. They took out motion sensing - Reported by one website with no info to back it up. Wouldn't other websites be snatching at this and posting all over the place? I'll believe it when Sony says it or it happens at launch. Bogus so far, in my opinion.

I just researched this, it turns out the website made a mistake Sony have removed the emotion chipset, (the PS2 Chipset) this was mistakenly reported on as motion sensitive. I just read a bad report and as for the ps3 shortages, Its just what I haerd from others and internet reports (maybe I read that a month or so later than launch (I'm in the UK so have no first hand knowlege of this) I retract both comments, thanks for pointing it out

So you're saying we deserved a stupidly long wait to get our hands on the console? They weren't going to "upgrade" it (I'd like to see it) but it was just a gradual progression. They screwed us over THEN claimed it was all in good spirit.

Wow talk about trying to find the silver lining.

Blind people be GRATEFUL!

1. You may not be able to see but that means your girlfriend will be always be as beautful as you imagine her to be!

2. You may not be able to watch TV but that also means you won't have to watch crappy programs either!

3. You may not be able to see yourself in the mirror but that means you won't have to spend money on expensive clothes or cosmetic to try and look good because you'll never know!

4. In the summer you don't need sunglasses!

You should work in a ward for the terminally ill telling them how lucky! lucky! lucky! they all are.

i honestly can't tell whether you're joking or serious. your first point makes me think you're serious but then.... so in case you are: 2. weren't the ps3 console shortages for less than a month? no, you're right, we may not get consoles shortages, instead we had to wait 5 months for the hardware to even get here 3. so are you saying, sony is focusing on future games for us, that will only be for us and not for the US? Because i'm pretty sure the US has the future games AND the backwards compatibility.

That's such obvious spin... they take out backwards compatibility, and it's not "screwing over PS2 owners" it's "looking forward to future content"... pathetic. :roll:
