Paddy Power hosts betting game for best-selling PS3 game

Famous Irish bookie Paddy Power has a little betting competition for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) community and enthusiasts while the European console launch is well underway. Before we get on the betting game itself, maybe you’d like to know that Paddy Power is banking that all of the units will be sold out just 60 seconds after retail doors open. Woohoo!

Erm, anyway, Paddy Power is offering fans the chance to win some cold hard cash and a PS3 by guessing which launch title is going to be the most popular. Sharon McHugh, a spokesperson for the company, mentioned,

Betting gets very busy around the launches of new console. The PS3 is the Aston Martin of computer consoles, so as launches go it doesn’t get much bigger than this. Everyone will be rushing to get their hands on one, and to celebrate the launch we plan on giving a couple away to our punters.

To help you out with your decision, provided that you’re joining this, we’ve posted Paddy Power’s odds for some of the titles. Resistance: Fall of Man is standing tall with 6/4 while Sonic the Hedgehog is a bit lonely down below with 100/1.
