Photos: PlayStation 3 finally hits the UK

By Nick Hide on 23 March 2007, 1:00pm

With the PS3 retailing at £425, plus games and extra controllers, many people splashed out upwards of £500 on the night. Realising this, and mindful of last November's US launch, which saw gamers mugged and even shot for their PS3s or cash while they queued, the Metropolitan police advised Oxford Street retailers not to have queues outside on the street.

Midnight launches at Game and HMV were moved to 7am this morning and Virgin turned its basement into an impromptu camp site for Wednesday night. As well as the free TV and a copy of top game Resistance: Fall of Man, queuers at Virgin were also given a cab ride home, as there was very little public transport at that time of night.
