If you’re in the land down under and you love video games, March 23 should be a significant date for you. If you still don’t know why, the Sony PlayStation 3 will be officially released on that day and retailers won’t wait until the break of dawn to sell their wares.
We’ve got a list of all the retailers across the continent who will be opening shop at midnight to give Sony fans their long awaited bundles of joy. Here are the stores to look out for:
- Dick Smith PowerHouse: all stores except Springwood – 19 stores

We’re looking forward to getting first hand information on how the PAL version performs. We wish everyone a fun time and we hope no untoward incidents occur in the crowds.
