Yes, the fun is about to begin. The PS3 has now become a reality and will be available on the following dates:

• Japan November 11th
• North America November 17th
• Europe March 2007

Pre-Order Now!

If you really want to get your hands on a Playstation 3 then don’t think you’ll be able to walk into your local store at the weekend. Major shortages are expected, and they’ll probably be worse than when the Xbox 360 came out. The only way to guarantee getting a allocation is to Preorder now! Or, you could try eBay if you want to be ripped off - when the Xbox 360 came out some were changing hands on eBay for up to $2500.

Lots of merchants will offer pre-orders, but I would recommend sticking to one of the big guys like Amazon as they will have the biggest allocation, which will increase your chances of getting a PS3. Another safe bet would be Play.com.

   In Europe the Playstation 3 console shall cost 599 Euros which would equal $792 - so the retail price will be higher here than in the US.

   I hope the price settles down a little after the big rush will be over.
