Right off the assembly line
The PlayStation 3 will easily be one of this year's most sought after items. With American gamers putting their lives on hold for almost two weeks to wait in line until the November 17 launch, anticipation is at an all-time high. For Japanese gamers, however, the wait is over.

Sony's new console launched in Japan today, and was met with extensive lineups worthy of a human/ant farm colony simulation. Hundreds, if not thousands, of gamers queued outside Yodabashi and Bic Camera stores (big box retailers equivalent to our Best Buy or Frys) the night before the release hoping to purchase a console. Japanese retailers typically do not offer midnight releases, those in line for the console would have to wait until the morning.

The freaking thing got sold out on the very first day in Japan.If it progresses at this rate I believe Sony will have to push up their socks to work on extra production units.Hope they have enough stock to cope up with the additional demand.Are these Jap's dead or something? Why dosen't anyone post a review or atleast a mini review of the console?

1st day stock always solds out in 1 day. Same thing happened with PS 2 & XBOX launch, there is nothing special in that
