Stringer: 800,000 PS3's already shipped in Europe - Blu-ray Forum

Well there might be some good news coming soon for Continental buyers, apparently a price cut is in the works, already. A friend said that they have received promotional material directly from Sony about a limited-time offer, whether this is true or not, I couldn't say so take it with a big pinch of salt. If it does happen, then expect €100 off list price bringing it to €499 for the 60GB. It could have something to do with the weakness of the USD, or because they have a hardware revision in the works, but there is a glimmer of hope for those who haven't bought in.

Also expect some sort of Spiderman 3 tie-in, we have received some promotional material and will be showing the extended trailer in stores in 1080p played off a promotional BD that we will receive some-time this week in the post.

A Sony guy is coming store to install a bunch of Bravia X-Series TVs and hook them up to PS3s and one 52" to the BDP-S1(E). Atm we have a few V-series TVs hooked up to a PS3 and a Wii, and a Samsung hooked up to the X360. It looks like the PS2 will make way and the current PS3 stand is going to change. All of this is tentative, but hopefully I can take some pics when the dude comes to do it if I am there (though next week is going to be my last week at HMV for about 2 months as I start my leave of absence for my finals).
