With the PS3 launching this Friday in the UK I'm just wondering who will be getting one on release day?
I have a funny feeling there wont be a mad rush to the shops to get one, for example Game are still guaranteeing launch day availability, it could be because Sony have got there act together and are sending a large batch but i doubt it.
For me, well I'm waiting for a) any bugs to come out and b) for the price to go down

I'm going to leave it for a bit, my mum said she'd buy me one for my birthday later this year lol. That'll give them time to iron out any bugs as well as time for the most looked forward to games to come out.
I bought my PS2 a while after the launch and it still works perfectly even today, and yes I'm talking about the original "fat" version of the PS2.
But most of my friends have pre-ordered their PS3 and so I guess I'll have to live a life of jelousy for a while...

I'm not doubting you or saying you're lying, but that sounds like another anti-Sony rumour to me... but if it is true I'm sure I'm right when saying that even Nintendo and Microsoft fans will hope this comes to a stop and that those who do do this sort of thing are punished, as in a way we are all affected and all vulnerable to this type of illegal happening.

For anyone waiting for the price to go down....have a nice 5 year wait
They already said they won't be lowering the price for the for seeable future.

I agree mate, I've read somewhere before, during the early days of the ps3, that sony is losing money for every ps3 manufactured, because of the parts(blu-ray drives, etc.).

so i think they wont lower the price anytime soon.

I doubt they'll lower the price... however it is still the cheapest Blueray player on the market...
Hacked games??? Well makes them cheaper for some, however the reason Sony make a loss on each unit, is because they'll recoupe on the games sales... so hacking the games only means that the unit will be more expensive for longer.
Although I understand that this effects return on R&D, Sony are still worth a shit load... (Share price risen from $40 - $52 in the last 6 months) So I don't have as much sypathy as I would for a small SWH.
