[QUOTE="rdo"]the aussie launch is over. the ps3 drew 1/10th of the crowd the 360 drew. while retailers were bragging about record preorders it seems nobody is coming to pick them up. the abay floppage has been noticed. nobody actually wants a ps3, they just want free ebay money that isn't there. but the retailer did act like true cows "well they haven't come to the launch......but you just wait till monday".

Approximately 70 people lined up to grab their consoles at the Myer Pitt St store, with a hundred-strong crowd looking on. The PS3's arrival comes exactly one year after Microsoft's Xbox 360 launched in Australia. Microsoft's launch event for the 360--which was also held in Sydney's Pitt St mall--drew a crowd of close to 1,000 people

I find this funny seeing as Australia was like 99.99999% Sony last gen. Price DOES matter.

But this is only the launch, so it could change over time
