message: 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)

message: === 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)

thread_title:  Move suggestion

message: 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 $660-680 mentioned in this article.
Brazil charges more than the price on eBay ever reached in the US!! Socby19 17:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The PS3 was never (and probably never will be) launched officially by Sony in Brazil. In fact, it isn't even supported by them. Also, the units sold in the Brazilian market are the same as the US market units, being imported generally from American distributors and not directly from Sony. This fact, added with the typical console shortage during launch and the insane amount of taxes on electronics and import duties in Brazil make the console extremely expensive. 201.8.115.71 06:32, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Local" vs US$ 

message: 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)

message: 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)
thread_title:  Italian release 

message: According to Financial Times, PS3 sold 600.000 units just in first two days  becoming the fastest selling console in United Kingdom  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)

message: IIRC, the launch info on the main Playstation 3 page is well-referenced. If there is way, the references for that section can be imported to this article as well... Ranma9617 01:52, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I am going to make a big change on price table, including the country that has not been mentioned in this page, and I'll try to move some from the main PlayStation 3 page. So, I'll backup the table first. I am also thinking to remove the accessories category, as a few people fill that in, while I will add "colour system" on the table. I'll make it more like Xbox 360 launch, while retaining some elements from Wii launch. The Wii launch page is too sophisticated, and difficult to copy, especially with almost all the price of accessories unknown or variable. I'll put the backup here.

How can it be out of date, or need updating - the launch is a one time event. I saw nothing here giving info. on what exactly the issue is supposed to be, If someone wants to analyse the article please do so - there may be content issues, template:refimprove may be necessary .

thread_title: Remove multiple issue tag

message: The PlayStation 3 launch is remembered as a failure of a high demand product that caused some pretty unique ... things to occur. It was all over the news at the time, and it is even referred to in secondary articles as the reason Apple hired off-duty police at their stores to avoid having the same outcome. But this article is devoid of any reference to the hundreds of burglaries, muggings and at least one unquestionable shooting to have occurred by crazy people wanting to get their hands on a PS3 nownownow. I understand that corporations like to clean up their articles on here, but this is the only reason and singular notable element that I and many others find the whole PS3 launch notable in the first place. This has to be included. IPhone_(1st_generation) is the reason I came here, to read more about it as I thought there were a spate of shootings not just one. I am disappointed that we're pandering to either corporate PR spin doctors or fanboyisms and not addressing it. 121.211.56.55 (talk) 00:02, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
