But apparently it seems they haven’t learned a thing. Not only is the PS3 already been delayed for us in Europe, but we are supposed to suffer another delay? According to the Spanish gaming site MeriStation Ken Kutaragi recently admitted that supply problems for Japan and North America could force the European PS3 launch to be delayed until May. This would mean that the Japanese and Americans might have their PS3’s nearly six months before the rest of the world. This has not been verified yet, so take it with a grain of salt. It is also worthwhile to note that Kutaragi also supposedly said that Sony has not modified its European launch plans at this time.

This time Games Radar say that the $499 PS3 will not have wireless controllers, and instead ship with boring de facto standard controller, much like the core 360 system. They say a Sony rep stated that it will have a 20GB hard drive, but it is non upgradeable (unless you disassemble it). This is bad news for those who would just like to slap on a meatier hard drive. At least that is an option in the core 360 system. But, I think those that are serious gamers and want the bigger HDD would go for the $599 system anyway. It’s like how we thought the 360 was marketed at, but at least that was cheaper!
