SPOnG told you last week that the PS3 launch in Europe was going to be on the 23rd March, with the 60GB PS3 priced at £425 and no 20GB model made available to UK consumers, at least for the initial launch period.
This information came to use via Sony’s ‘semi-official’ blog Threespeech.com, a PS3 ‘insider info’ source, designed and managed by PR company Up-Comms.
We were also informed last week that we would have the ‘official word’ on the PS3 launch from SCEE this week. Well, according to Threespeech.com today (i.e. Sony’s PR company) that announcement has now slipped to later this week.
Does this mean, as the conspiracists in the SPOnG office would have it, that Sony is having some late, last-minute difficulties making the March launch?
Or is it merely a clever ploy to hope that consumer-targeted specialist videogames websites will run yet more ‘PS3 launch’ related news in the run up to the ‘official PS3 launch news’ stories later this week.
Nobody would fall for that, surely?
Doh!

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's totally unrelated to the fact that they may have launch issues. Considering there's a crapload of PS3s just collecting dust in the US, I wouldn't want to launch a system without a substantially different launch offering.
Either the price drops (won't happen) or they wait till better games can sit next to the systems on launch day.

On the forums of PGC they calculated that around 300 000-400 000 PS3's are just sitting there in Japanese storehouses.
Something about Sony saying they shipped a million PS3's to Japan then deducting the Media Create numbers of those.
