PS3 betting stopped in Europe
There’s been a bit of wheeling and dealing gone wrong in Europe as betting outfit Paddy Power held a game letting bettors stake bids on what the price scheme for the European Sony PlayStation 3 will be following the US price drop.
Paddy Power representative Sharon McHugh said in an earlier statement “We can only apologise and maybe we should have made it clearer in the press release.”
GamesIndustry.biz reveals that the firm cancelled all the bets placed on the stakes and instead are offering patrons a free novelty betting option for the same amount in place of the cancelled contest.
The cancellation is a result of Sony announcing that prices will stay as they are, at least for the time being in the market, prompting Paddy Power to do its move despite having the scenario as one of the options.
The European version of the PS3 console arrived in the European market earlier this year and carries a different set of specs from its American and Japanese counterparts. A markdown in retail cost was earlier announced in the US but no official word is out for Europe.
