I guess Sony have finally sold off the majority of the rest of the worlds sixaxis to the dumping ground that is Europe.

Ok, I am being a bit cynical but why else has it taken so long?

I'm fairly certain you get KZ2 first, isn't it being made in Europe? That's assuming KZ2 won't have a worldwide release on day 1 like MGS4, though. :)

but yeah... it's in Sony's interest to have simultaneous EU/NA launch

Anyone who wanted one, probably already has one. Hell, importing from America using the Euro is like getting 3 for the price of 1 since our Dollar is about as Weak as a wine cooler.

I think you're right, most people who wanted one already got one. Ordering from the US now is extremely cheap, stuff over there is almost given away. Prices here are almost tripple of what they are in the US.

To SCEE, why the hell has it taken so long? Every single moron at SCEE should get fired. Let SCEA take over Europe also, SCEE clearly isn't up to the task.

Good news for Europe. I really think that Sony should have had a world wide launch especially seeing how Europe is one of it's biggest markets. Oh well, can not do anything about the past, but one can hope that they stop putting Europe last.

lets see:
DS3 @ amazon = EUR 59.95
DS3 @amazon.com = $ 54.99

1 Euro (EUR) = 1.57888 US Dollar (USD)

DS3 US = EUR 34.83

Imho there will be at least ONE shop that manages to ship it from the US for less than EUR 25 ... Don't waste your money, import.

http://global.yesasia.com/e...

voila EUR 38.43 including worldwide shipping.

Nahhhhh not really man. been there done that. The controllers were flawless on the ps2. but since they enabled Bluetooth in part of the design of the controller its complete garbage. I mean who wants to send their used controller in the mail to sony so they can change the batteries. who ever was responsible for that design should get the gaming nobell prize or at least a trophy.
