What can someone do about this
Someone else already had this problem and I don't know how to fix it. :( Maybe people an Invisionfree could. I could check.

Not another party game spinoff.... :( I'm not looking forward to this.

PS3's launch in Europe

Most people just shipped them from america...
TBH i dont belive those figures of sales. They have REALLY screwed us Europeans over this time. They didnt put the cheaper system on sale, they delayed it for months, THEY TOOK OUT THE CHIP THAT LETS US PLAY PS2 AND PS1 GAMES and countless other problems. Its on sale for £560 pounds over here and if i'm right it means you guys get it cheaper. <_<

Also as it turns out i asked myself at a few stores and they haven't sold ANY.

Don't believe them, no one cares. You're buying into all of this media B.S. and don't really know what really is going on. It's sad that so many people just believe what they hear on the internet. Trust me it isn't your fault. They are convincing with their twisting of information.

1) They didn't put the cheaper system, because no one really wants it. Most sells come from the 60 Gb version. They are going to have some in the future but most will be the 60 GB model.

2) They delayed it for months due to a lack of diodes for the laser, if they had released it people would complain about not being enough. There already weren't enough for America and Japan if they had launched it everywhere else there would be even less.

3) They added a built in emulator to play PS2 and PS1 games and took out the chip. They did that for PS2 also. PS2 originally included the PSone chip inside it but they removed it soon after for an emulator. Even before PS3 came out they said they were going to remove the PS2 chip. They ONLY put it in there so you didn't have to wait to play old games on your PS3.

4) America does get it cheaper, but you have to factor in many things... One major factor is you guys make more money than we do in America.

5) Those countless other problems are probably BS as well or not really even problems.

Upgrading Xbox 360
You can play Okami and RE4 on PS3. :)

Anyway I think this is a ripoff! It's too much money for the stuff they're upgrading. I'd just get a premium and upgrade the hdd instead of paying this much for an elite.

What is it whit this place
I know. It's Invisionfree or something. It'll get worked out soon.

Laughing? You know how much the system cost here? It's 600 dollars, some people can't actually afford that x__X So I dunno how it sold that much over there, being I know little about pounds.

Besides they DID have proof, even a picture. Besides G4 doesn't lie. even Adam from Xplay is pretty truthful about his information. He finds the prices recdiclious, but I am from american so it differs here then over there.

However it sold that much...it's unbelieve being that expensive.

You're right G4 doesn't lie. They just twist words to make things sound different than what really went on. They twisted information by taking a picture of no one at the launch party(a few hours after midnight) and claimed PS3 bombed in Europe. When they knew good and well that isn't proof of PS3 bombing and it was only TWO hours after the launch. All they did was assume things...

Oh man I get a chuckle every time I read those crappy articles. None of the media even could think for themselves. One site reported it then the rest all reported the same thing with NO proof, just assumptions. Makes me wonder if they're all part of Microsoft's 3 Billion Viral Marketing campaign. XD

Ugh I hate PS3, not my favorite system. If it sold that much then how come I'm not hearing much about it? I just gotten the news from THE FEED, a short, yet brief news show on G4, showing the empty booths of PS3 lauch.

I also heard that in Japan, sony is having trouble with selling their systems over there.

I keep laughing EVERYTIME I read how the media reported how PS3 was doing badly because no one was at the booths... 1) They had NO proof XD 2) Most people in Europe preordered theirs so they just picked it up the next day... Why stay up late to get it when you don't have to.

The media was owned hard and their bias that has been shown before is quite obvious now.

Here's more about the Euro launch...

The PlayStation 3 console has broken UK sales records with more than 165,000 machines sold in the first two days of release, say analysts Chart Track.

More than a million consoles were shipped across Europe on launch day last week with 600,000 sold.

Sony is hoping to retake its title as the console market leader, as Microsoft and Nintendo head the next-gen race.

Meanwhile, games firm Namco Bandai has said it is to use the PS3's Cell chip in arcade machines.

Microsoft sold 71,000 Xbox 360 consoles during its UK launch weekend, while Nintendo sold 105,000 Wii machines.

But both companies offered limited stock to retailers, which led to shortages.

Ray Maguire, managing director of Sony Computer Entertainment UK said the figures were a vote of confidence in the machine.

"Having broken the record for launch sales, we are now replenishing retail stock across the country," he said,

I felt guilty at one point.
Lol, it's pretty good. I like playing it on PSP. :D XD

Trust me i live in Europe it wasnt that much of a success. I was in town yesterday and i saw not one PS3 being sold yet they were in stock EVERYWHERE. I went to every shop to see what cheap games i could find (not to mention to go on the 360 demo pods XD) and i saw about 4 wiis being sold yet no PS3'S.... Only ONE person in our school has a PS3 and i know a lot that have 360's and wii's.
Only people who dont mind consoles breaking if you have a powercut go for the PS3.

Nothing you said proves PS3 isn't doing that well. Especially considering the first two days they sold nearly all of the stock in the UK. They also sold 600,000 PS3s in Europe so far. It has been what? Four days since it launched? Everything you said was speculation and opinion...

Btw, of course they are in stock. Do you know how many Sony had shipped to Europe? 1 Million consoles. That's alot for all at once especially for a launch. It's 2/3rds gone now too. Of course you know alot of people with 360's and Wiis... They have been out longer. XD

Keep in mind one person's "perception" of what's going on does not have anything to do with what is actually going on. ;)

Unfair Treatment
Well sorry to hear about that hapening to you at SZF....
