PS3 pre-order (Sweden) Interesting for non-swedes as well - Jul 13, 2006 05:44
So swedens biggest videogamestore Webhallen has begun taking pre-orders for the PS3. Nice!

Pre-ordering seems a little more complex than usual though. You don' t just order it, you get a special pre-order CD which you have to use on your computer and log on to the PS3 pre-order site where you can pre-order it for real. I suppose this is to prevent single persons from buying too many PS3' s.....

Killzone Anyway, the screenshots for Killzone are from the CG movie:

(Just click on the numbers below and you' ll see them.)
I think that' s kind of bad because that' ll make every non-hardcore games who doesn' t follow the industry think that it' s the actuall in-game graphics.

Motorstorm' s screenshots look very good and they' ve been mixed with CG shots:

(again, click on the numbers to see the screenshots)

Vision Gran Turismo Has been put up as a game. The screenshots seem to be from E3 2006 which I thought that was just a demo, a GT4 with higher resolution?

Heavenly sword looks nice though:

Right now all games have a 599 SEK* price tag.

PS3 Here' s the console itself which they say they' re pretty sure it will be yours for about 6000 SEK*:

The specs are in english.
One interesting thing is that they don' t have the Core pack (a.k.a. retard pack).

Controllers can also be bought for 399 SEK*:

*100,00 SEK = 13,69 USD

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

I like the poll they have on the start page. Take a close look at the last option:

Finaly you can pre-order the PS3
How much do you want it?


11/10, I' ve been waiting for this since the day the PS2 was launched (13%)

As soon as... I know the price (6%)

I' m positive but I want more info before I decide (9%)

Haven' t decided yet (9%)

But what about the Wii? (63%)


Sweden goes Wii

The results will probably change though but still, very interesting.

But basically the prices that we all suspected became the same.

I mean 6000 kronor for the ps3,and 600 kr for each game,would have been madness to surpace that amount of money for each game.

I just noticed that Siba (big electronics warehouse in Sweden) is selling it for 5890 SEK. Nice!

Lucky Swedes. I wonder if they know how many they' ll be recieving, because every time I call a retailer and ask. (I' ve learned to stop asking when, but how many instead) they don' t know how many are going to be allocated to each store.

I guess that' s what the CD' s are for. Once you' ve registered at Sony' s website Sony will make sure that the store you got the CD from will have a PS3 for you.
I' m guessing there won' t be many none-preordered units.
The rule of this pre-order CD thing is: First come, first serve.
That' s what they' ve said. So if you want a PS3 in Sweden, you better get one of those CD' s.

I am going to burn 1000 of those cds and render their syceme useless.


Just to piss them off.
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!
