Poland- "...security guards and staff outnumbered those picking up pre-orders".
This is just the beginning.
This is the truth, these photos were all taken by members of the UK:Resistance website. They have SOOO much more. All of them are pretty epic.
Long short short: No one came, no one cares, one of the cameramen was mistaken for a Sony Fanboy and egged by Nintendites.
What's with the lack of Germany pics? Cuz it did well there huh?Mudig
No reporters from Germany, but we got... AUSTRIA! A text-only communication from a keen UKR reader in Austria: "Just wanted to report in the failure of the PS3 launch in Vienna, Austria." "First of all, there were no big midnight launch parties." "I went by 2 out of the 3 major retailers before the shops opened to find only 3 people waiting at the doors of one, and 8 people waiting at the other (half of which were the mum's of the other half)." "I even passed a 4th electronic store on the way to the office to find brand new playstations in the window. No one outside, and only staff inside (minus one kid on his way to school playing the Xbox 360 kiosk). As I stopped at the window, a pair of parents walked up and were speaking german to each other something to the fact that their son wanted one, but the father felt that 600 euro is "bankuberfall" (a bank robbery) and they continued walking." "The resistance is strong in the Osterreich!" "Chris"
NEWCASTLE!
I have more if you'd like.

It's even worse in Europe I believe as far as price is concerned, Note: This was France's HUGE ps3 launch. 1000 ps3's there. 50 PEOPLE SHOWED UP. That sucks for SONY but what do you expect with a horribly expensive price tag? It's even worse in Europe I believe as far as price is concerned, I thought it might have a chance in France. (Rhyme not intended) I guess I was wrong. Note: This was France's HUGE ps3 launch. 1000 ps3's there. 50 PEOPLE SHOWED UP. so what happened to the remaining? Note: This was France's HUGE ps3 launch. 1000 ps3's there. 50 PEOPLE SHOWED UP. so what happened to the remaining? Its a mystery. My take: The Ps3's were boiled down, and used to create about 1000 or so Wiis. The Wiis sold out instantly.

Again! That pic anc't be proven when it was taken, where it was taken or that it was even real! I want proof that was a France launch party and that it was in full swing AND that this pic is a real one from it!!!!!!
