Playstation 3 coming soon

I won't be rushing out to buy the PS3 when it is released in mid November, but price isn't my main issue. In Australia at least, the Basic PS3 isn't much more expensive than the PS2 was on launch:



Equally of concern to me is its excessive girth. They done a good job of disguising its size with futuristic lines, but that won't help it fit into a narrow space any better.

I was prepared to wait for the svelte Nintendo DS Lite, and I'm prepared to wait for a slimmer (and cheaper) PS3.
