PS3 launch: This was waiting

We chart the PS3 story from E3 2005 to this week's Euro lau♈nch

June 2006
"You'll never need to use a PC again!" Sony 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:blathered this month, expanding on the idea by promising the PS3 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:would be upgradeable. Marvelous, something else to spend £1000 a year on. Although, worryingly, Sony was apparently having trouble getting all PS3's bits in the same box, suggesting the console's specs 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:might actually get downgraded.

Part of this technobesity was down to Sony 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:bundling in the PS2's main chips, although this was only to be a temporary fix. Finally, as retailers depressed everyone by listing PS3 games 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:as $10 more than 360's, Sony claimed that losing its traditional exclusivity on GTA 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:actually didn't matter, and anyway, people really 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史🌌查询:wouldn't mind paying a premium price for PlayStation 3.
