Three Speech: UK preorder availability, compiled
Looks like that pre-launch meeting between Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) and retailers have sorted itself out with regards to launch allocations and preorders. We’ve had snippets of various PS3 preorders in Europe – a couple of which tosses in a PSP in exchange for priority position in the line – but never the complete (as of now) list.
Three Speech, with the help of one of their readers, was able to compile a list of UK online outlets including those with active preorders and those that are registering names for preorder notification (a.k.a. “sit tight, we’ll tell you when”).
It’s a bit of old news for some (hey, it’s a compiled list, remember), but it’s nice to have the info all in one place. Won’t be as nice to visit the stores on the list only to find pre-order lines already in place, but at least it’s nicer than lining up late on Launch Day.
Places taking pre-orders NOW:
- Play.com – Bundle with 3 games @ £549.99
- Gamestation – £424.99
- *Please note these two have been available for quite a while – therefore it is likely that there may be a large queue.
- HMV.co.uk – 5000 bundles on sale, PSP (2 games and 4gb memory stick) + PS3 pre-order = £674.99 (HMV are also taking pre-orders in store! £100 deposit required).
- Argos.co.uk – are now taking pre-orders! £424.99.
