so first it gets delayed in europe to which sony says we wont mind
then they decide just to sell the 60gb, ie most expensive model
then we end up paying way more than everyone else (japan pays the equivalent of 60% of what we will have to pay if we want a PS3)
now, along with some suspect design choices and a fairly weak games line up sony have decided to do the following:
the chips in side the PS3 which allow it to be backward compatible with the PS2 are being completely removed. removed!
so along with the gouged price, its actually less functional than the US and Jap versions
