[edit] Modification I made

I made several modification:

  • Price for Indonesia. I removed dollar sign, because we, Indonesians does not use dollar sign, instead "Rp.". The International sign for Indonesian Rupiah is IDR.
  • Added Brazil's prices.
  • Added Accessories pricing. Please feel free to add other accessories, and its price. Currently, I have done the column for Indonesia and Brazil only, and added Indonesian's price for game. I will try to get the price for othe accessories

I think it looks a lot better thanks.Bobthebobthetimothy 20:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
I also think it's looks a lot better also. PS3 wins 12:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I think it is unnecessary to add pricing data on regions with no official Playstation 3 launch (like Indonesia and Brazil) since it would be somewhat inaccurate.
On countries with no official PS3 launch the price can be very unstable and changes quickly over time. For example, the price history in Jakarta alone (price history varies in other regions of indonesia), on November 12, 2006 (just 1 day after the japanese launch), several PS3 was imported to Indonesia and priced at IDR 12,000,000 ~ IDR 14,000,000 much more expensive than it's japanese launch price (JPY 59,980 equals ~ IDR 4,650,000) after about 2 weeks, the price went down to IDR 7,000,000 ~ IDR 8,000,000 (for a 60GB console, 1 extra controller, 3 game software), then on January 2007 the price went down again to IDR 6,200,000 ~ IDR 6,500,000 for the same package (1 60GB console, 1 extra controller, 3 game software), though, right now the price seems to have become stable. I know this because i live in Jakarta and have kept track of PS3's price here. --125.160.202.26 08:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HDMI Cable

[edit] US Price

I found the US cost for the HDMI cable which is $50.00 I hope you can put it in the table. PS3 wins 12:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Colume for HDMI cable price

Also i notice i found the HDMI cable price but no colume for it so to put the price in there will need to be a new colume. You don't need to do it now. If i found any more prices I will add them to the table or put it here. PS3 wins 14:49, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Source?

[edit] Finnish price and release date

Why is the release of PS3 in Finland marked to be in June, instead of March like other Eurozone? Also the higher price makes me wonder why is Finland any different from other Eurozone Tomppa 23:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I think I will look into that and change if nessercery. (P.S. My spelling is bad) PS3 wins 17:50, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move suggestion

Please consider moving this article to PlayStation 3 launch, for consistence sake (Xbox 360 launch and Wii launch). -- ReyBrujo 17:37, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Orangend when this page was made the Wii lunch page was Wii relesae Data so I think that why it could this. PS3 wins 17:32, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Moved. Just64helpin 22:50, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
OK then. PS3 wins 17:08, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Local" vs US$

I think the exchange rates need to be checked on this page. Unless the exchange rate has drastically changed since these edits, something's not matching up. For example, I'm finding that €599 is nearly $775. And £425 is just over $834. That's a far cry from the $660-680 mentioned in this article.

Brazil charges more than the price on eBay ever reached in the US!! Socby19 17:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC)SocBy19

This is because we Europeans give prices including VAT, not like the US, which dont.

Hence, 600€ are about $775 but deduct 19% VAT (Germany) and you get about $660.

[edit] NBA 2K7 and NBA 07

This article only lists NBA 2K7 as a launch title, but according to List of PlayStation 3 games, NBA 07 was also a lauch title in the US. Which article is correct here? --Conti|✉ 20:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Italian release

In the article it is said that "Italian retailer Datel started selling the PS3 earlier", but I don't think there's a retailer named that way. Retailers who decided to start selling it earlier seem to be: Darty, Saturn, Mediaworld, EB-games and Gamestop. A link (in italian) about this is here:http://www.lastampa.it/_web/cmstp/tmplrubriche/giochi/grubrica.asp?ID_blog=35&ID_articolo=152&ID_sezione=247&sezione= —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 158.102.162.5 (talk) 15:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] My edit.

According to Financial Times, PS3 sold 600.000 units just in first two days [1] becoming the fastest selling console in United Kingdom [2] with 165.000 units in first two days.

The FI article states that PS3 sold in two days more than Xbox 360 in a month. Is this comparisson really necessary? --Ciao 90 19:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
