Sony PS3 available for pre-order
Sony’s PlayStation 3 (PS3) console has gone on sale on the web despite not being launched until 17 November this year.
The 60Gb model is on offer as pre-order for £549 at play.com.
It comes with a 60Gb hard drive, wi-fi, memory card readers and a HDMI port for high definition video.
Play.com is offering three games in its package. Driving simulator Formula One 06, flying game Warhawk and the karaoke-themed Singstar. Games shipped with the console may change due to availability.
The website states: “Due to an expected European shortage of the PS3, we are unable to guarantee delivery of your PS3 before Christmas. All pre-orders will be fulfilled on a first come, first served basis and game titles in this package may be changed, subject to availability.”
Japanese gamers will be the first to get their hands on the PS3 on 11 November while the console will arrive in the US and Europe on 17 November.
The PS3 is the successor to the best-selling PlayStation 2 and will compete with Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii.
The Xbox 360 is already available, while the Wii is due out later this year.
All three consoles promise cutting edge processing and graphical power.
Sony currently dominates the console market with more than 100 million PlayStation 2s in homes around the world.
