Photos: PlayStation 3 finally hits the UK

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

Unlike the plentiful PS3, Nintendo's Wii, which launched in the UK in December, is still short of stock. Shipments periodically arrive in the UK, and most retailers offer a pre-order service for the innovative-but-less-powerful white console.

Having had to delay the launch, Sony clearly wanted to get its supply lines right this time and avoid the eBay profiteering that accompanied the US release. While this means that anyone who can afford the £425 RRP can almost certainly get their hands on one, it has dampened the carnival atmosphere somewhat. Clearly, this is more of a problem for journalists trying to cover the launch than gamers eager for a new console -- which is why the free TV stunt was so powerful.
