Also there has been allot said about the delay to us in Europe giving Sony a bit of time to stockpile PS3's for the European launch. You have still been able to pre-order PS3's for release day guaranteed until extremely recently. Now we won't know if this is because demand is low or because Sony has finally done a good job at releasing enough stock for a launch until official figures are released, though Sony could massage these if they choose to.

The last thing to say is I'm not boycotting. I will be getting mine today and it will be made to feel at home alongside my xBox 360.
