PS3 European launch: Shaken, not stirred?

For the longest time, European Sony fans have been told that the launch of the PS3 over on their side of the globe will be by March of this year. However, if this is the case, many are wondering why an exact date has still not yet been pegged down, even with the supposed month of the launch drawing closer and closer. Many are left to believe that it’s such a hush-hush surprise that even some Sony top honchos aren’t too sure about it. Meanwhile, that leaves the rest of us mortals to our own guesses.

This time around, GWN makes another attempt to guess the date of the launch for the sake of everyone who wants to camp out. According to them, even though retailers like Amazon and Gameseek have listed the release date as March 30, there are many signs which may indicate that the launch will actually be on an earlier date.

Their latest theory revolves around the fact that the Blu-ray disc version of the movie “Casino Royale” will be released on March 19, and that “this would be an ideal time for Sony to take advantage of the PS3 launch and cash in on Blu-ray sales at the same time”.

Will it be so? Meanwhile, an announcement from Sony is expected sometime soon, so stay tuned.
