Today, the Sony Playstation 3 launched in Korea. Those lucky buggers exclusivly have an 80GB system which is available to purchase as of today, and damn do they know how to market a console. :P

Kotaku earlier posted that the Korean PS3 launch was “A bust” with a lacklustre attendance at the pre-launch event (No one forget people saying the same thing on the Eurolaunch…160k units sold. Ha.) but now, PS3Fanboy have posted updated pictures of the launch which more respectable attendance.

Only sales figures will sort this one out, but considering 200 pre-launch consoles used to tempt the Koreans by Sony were sold in 3 minutes, I think the numbers should be pretty good.

To be honest, I think they got the console at a good time. The US got the Playstation 3 back in November — the amount of games was poor. We got it in March and while there were some good titles, they’re starting to loose their edge. Korea have their Playstation 3’s now just as some pretty good games like Ninja Gaiden: Sigma, The Darkness and Folklore come out. Good times.
