What's HD and other people in Singapore are gonna be excited by this.

From CNET Asia:

Sony PlayStation 3 officially sets foot in Singapore; about time, too
22/02/2007
The game's on, guys. Sony has finally announced that it will be retailing the long-awaited PS3 in Singapore on March 7. Singaporean gamers who have been dying to experience Ridge Racer 7 on their HDTVs will no longer have to beg, borrow or steal (not necessarily in that order) from friends in Hong Kong. In fact, preorders start today, and gamers can visit selected game shops in the Republic or dial 800-852-3663 to plonk down their orders.
But hold on to your vibrating controllers. Along with the spiffy black Blu-ray machine, Sony Singapore will debut the PlayStation Store, an online portal from which users can download HD films and free trial games, much like the Xbox Live service. A free download of the cult racing hit, Grand Turismo, will be made available to celebrate the launch, though we have doubts as to the download speed.

And that's not all, gaming folks. Ten PS3 games will be on hand for purchase such as Resistance: Fall of Man and Mobile Suit Gundam Target in Sight. The 60GB version of the PS3 will be retailing at S$799 (US$508.33). No word on the 20GB version at press time, though.

So gentlemen, start your engines.

Meanwhile check out the pricing details for the available game titles.

Genji: Days of the Blade S$42 (US$26.72)
Enchant Arm S$80 (US$50.90)
Ridge Racer 7 S$82 (US$52.17)
Resistance: Fall of Man S$82 (US$52.17)

Cool, it looks like What's HD will be getting his PS3 at a price that is cheaper than US/Canada and Europe. (SGD$799 or around USD$499)
