PS3 Europe Launch: April and Price Rise rumoured

Up until recently March 23rd has been the slated release date for the Playstation 3 European launch. However, speaking to CNET News Sony Corporation CEO Howard Stringer said that April will be the release of the PS3 in Europe.

An error on his part or are Sony delaying their Europe launch further still?

To rub more salt in the wounds the Irish version of the Official PlayStation 3 website appears to have information on a price increase for the PS3.

The Irish page lists: "Equipped with a blue-ray drive, pre-installed hard disk drive (HDD) and Wirelesss controller as standard, the 60GB PLAYSTATION®3 will be available at launch in Ireland for €629.99. The 20GB (€529.99) will not be available at launch in Ireland."

The Sony Pre-E3 Conference back in May 2006 announced that the PS3 would cost 499 (20GB) and 599 (60GB) euros in Europe, which is what the other official PS3 websites show for European territories.

Sony needs to come out and give the offical word, because they are starting to piss people of even more. If i dont get my ps3 in march im going to xbox 360 and i think alot of other people will as well. I know its only a extra month but iv had a ps3 on pre order since June 06. They F*ck me over for november now there is a chance to F*ck us all over for March.

Being in the UK myself, i've had a bundle preorder with play.com since as long as i can remember.

Hopefully Sony will pipe up and give the official announcement as im itching for a 360 aswell but don't want to sacrifice getting a PS3.
