Many analysts suggest that the PS3 is the death of Sony.

But this is a bummer for people in Europe and probably not the best idea on Sony's part. I suspect that whoever was responsible for distributing/producing the diodes is no longer employed.

If Sony goes under, the entire industry has the potential to change a whole heck of a lot.
Either another monopoly will strike (Bill has been eyeing the electronics accessories/etc market for a while), or many, many more smaller companies will be able to step up a bit more.
Looking forward to it, but I hope in five years I'll still be able to flip Bill Gates the vee without getting five to ten years in prison. That world would be a sucky world. I like flipping the vee to Bill Gates. Yes.

Well its become clearer (800 odd posts on eurogamer) that theres more going on.
Basically NTSC area is a nice all english or spanish speaking bunch with pretty similar laws, markets etc, plus japan is NTSC, and thats their home turf so it wouldn't be wise to delay it there... PAL on the other hand is a mass of random countries with 500 languages including Europe, China, Australia and most of Africa. Bascially its just not worth the effort to bother with it for now with a limited stock.
But it goes even deeper. Essentially they simply horribly lied about how many they could make. Less than a million will be availabe at launch, originally the plan was 100k in japan and 400k in N America ands then 3-400k in Europe (figures may be wrong). BUT Sony are fighting a format battle over Blue-ray so as part of this they are basically just giving europes share to N America.
Thing is i wouldn't of bought it at launch anyway but would have waited for a price drop, but if its delayed, that gets delayed too.
But the other problem is the stupid, silly, idiotic price. The system is ?420 or somthing, buy a a HDMI cable and thats ?450 buy a game and its ?500 quid ($800) so thats like wow... i could build a pretty decent gaming PC machine for that.
So its a Wii and a PC upgrade for me Which now i come to think about it is much better.
Oh and casey is of course right the other disapointing thing is that if Sony got the way of Sega (im talking games, i know Sony is HUGE) that give MS yet another monoploy
Lets just hope its the Wii that does well out of this.

Then buy an American T.V. you hippies! (Highly unlikey lol) But, whats next, "The T.Vs plugs, like dont totally fit the like...uhh whats da word? Oh the thingy mabobber thing you plug it into. durrr." says Drack. Oh come on i'm jk around. Canadians...can't take a joke...Except that it would be in NTSC picture format which would not be compatible with european TV's.
But this is a bummer for people in Europe and probably not the best idea on Sony's part. I suspect that whoever was responsible for distributing/producing the diodes is no longer employed.
P.S. Dracky, guess wat? I got a job so i ain't a hippy!

What is it, refresh rates? There's probably a definitive guide somewhere on the net.

You got SECAM (russia, france mainly), NTSC (US, CAN, JAP, S America) and PAL (the rest). NTSC looks all greyish and pastelly, games refresh slower, i think NTSC uses 50hz and PAL 60hz. This is only for analogue though, so as the world goes digital it wont matter (i think?).
Behold me geeky prowes! ... and bad spelling.
