Interesting they're going for a worldwide release rather than a staged release. They obviously want to show MS that they can do it better than they can (and for all the Sony fanboys I hope they can )

Any news on the actual price of the unit yet?

Hello

Wow, $500. I wonder if that translates to £500 as it normally does.

Well how about some cryptic stuff?

Lets compare the PS3 to a new model of Impreza - will Subaru's new Impreza model be released this November?
