Gameplay (UK) Taking PS3 Preorders

Dark Drakan · 02-13-2007, 07:43 PM

Just had an email from Gameplay (UK) saying they have now starting taking orders for UK Customers, which shows that so far Sony are keeping to their word (For Once) on the UK Release. So anyone interested in maybe preordering one etc heres the link and prices etc:

Gameplay » PlayStation 3 Consoles

(People can really see how us UK Customers got screwed by Sony now, months delay and we get it at highest price

) Can safely say i wont be getting one preordered or anytime soon...

Hmph. Unless it comes with a nice new TV attached, I ain't buying one until it drops dramatically in price...

For people who dont know the exchange rate for our currency the prices listed above work out at around $1076 (american) Which is almost double what America's paying for a start and we had to wait for months!

Me no likey pricey. First they muck us about and then they expect us to hand over our cash in large amounts.

Not me.

That sucks! Should order one in america and send one over..

We cant be sure our format disks would run on them (yours are NTSC and ours are PAL) would mean importing EVERY game aswel otherwise.

Ah I see how that could be a problem...

Yeah would probably work out same price if not more expensive in the long run plus the wait...

droded · 02-14-2007, 12:03 AM

But what if the PS3 can run both?

Dark Drakan · 02-14-2007, 12:07 AM

I know my Xbox 360 can but Sony have always been a pain about it for this reason (people importing them).

Do you think they'll sell out?

Highly doubt it, not everywhere anyway maybe in a few stores that cant get many in stock or has lots of preorders but at that price i highly doubt a 'Sell Out' debut.
