The advertising campaign starts and the end of march and you reckon the machine will launch on the 23rd.

If the PS3 was coming out in march then the advertising would've started now and you would be able to pre-order it now.

Check most websites and they all have release dates for loads of stuff that doesnt have an official release date, just check out play.com, they have release dates for any game coming out thats ever been mentioned as coming soon including Halo 3 and that aint got or has it ever had a release date.
Cant believe people still dont get how it all works.

When has it been any different when a console is launching, March my arse.
No chance it'll be out by then.

Advertisement campaign starts the 23rd, a few days after the console released?
Whoever thought up that theory was smoking something...

I agree with Vexxed...
(Just another to add to Vexxed's example, Dukenuken release date anyone? Well, lots of site have one, even though we all know the game doesn't really exist ;))

why the fuck you would want to buy a uk machine is beyond me anyway ill be getting the us version just after the uk release
1 because it will work out to be about £100 cheaper
2 due to our friendly german cousins the european ps3 will have a restricion thingy init to censore gore and blood and the like so even though the games are region free if played on a european ps3 it will be censored .
3 im still a firm beliver that HD-DVD will win but untill fox back HD-DVD spiderman,starwars,indiana jones will only be coming out on blu ray and although the games are region free the blu ray films are not and looking at the euro release dates and pricing for films it cheaper to get them from the USA.

and to add to vexxed's example again halo 3 according to play is coming out 24th of april mmmm MY ARSE IT IS :-o

Still no date on when Parallax is coming out though ;P.

lol parallax pwnd again

wat he locked up!!!
