It all went well! Us leaving at 9 paid off, I was the first person to get served! :D
We waited outside GAME for about 3 hours. The first two hours no one showed…and i thought “It’s true, Europe doesnt care about the PS3 ;(” but I was wrong. About 45 mins before opening people started […]

In literally 10 mins im going to be in the car and waiting outside GAME to collect my shiny new PS3, Genji: Days of the Blade, Resistance: Fall of man and Motorstorm, which we will review at a later date.
I’ll be waiting outside from about 9, until 11:30 when they open the doors. I’ll be […]

Sony and partnet Virgin Megastores have started up the UK PS3 launch by setting up camp for people already quing outside the shops in Oxford Street!

I’ve been reading a lot lately that shops still taking PS3 pre-orders means that the Ps3 has already failed in Europe.
This opinion is pretty stupid. GAME in Poole have taken over 140 pre-orders in a month, granted the Nintendo Wii had more, but not a striking amount more. I worked on the launch and we had […]

UK retailer HMV are offering the first 150 people to buy a Playstation 3 from their store in Oxford Circus Store, Central London. Unfortunately it is only their London store and only the first 150, it will not be anyone else in any other place.
Sounds good. Free game isn’t it? Shame they couldn’t have picked […]
