Hmmm...

1. but you use pal so you can import from europe,and play the games there.
2. at march ps3 will probably be release,atleast in japan,and you can mayby start to see a worldwide release price drop to make as much people as possible spent their money on 360 instead of a ps3.

For a while I was considering importing it from the UK but unfortunately the Pound/Euro doesn' t convert nicely to Australian Dollars - and my chances of actually obtaining and importing one close to the release date was slim to nil anyway. So by the time I did get it, March would be close enough to not bother with importing.

Prices for the Australian X360 are $AU499.95 for the core and $AU649.95 for the premium. These prices may seem steep to most people but it' s not for us. The Xbox launched in Australia for $AU649.95 too.

Knowing Sony, I really can' t see the PS3 appearing on Australian shores until closer to 2007 or later. It took them close to a year to get the severely overrated PSP down here (I just don' t see what' s so great about it).

Actually i think ps3 will come 2006 to you,sony wants their baby to come out fast to now.
And btw the price in sweden is 550 american dollars...

Í think anyone in outside Japan and maybe the US, shouldnt hope to see a PS3 before 2007.

I was the one who said there were no good xbox games. and to me there really isnt any, i have already completed Halflife 2 on the pc, i dont like Sonic (except the 2d ones), then there is PoP 3, i hope its more a long the lines of Sands of time than WW.

it looks more like WW than Sands of Time. I hate WW, but i love Sands of time.

Yeah Austrailia always gets the short end of the stick. Sometimes I wished I lived in the States, they don' t know how good they have it they get all the games and fair prices.
