PlayStation 3 released in Japan !!!

[vbt]

Who got one here ? Who is the first buyer ?

I'm on the fence with this one. The price is high, and there is little incentive to go one way or the other (bluetooth vs. HD-DVD) since there's a new media that can do both... but the PS2 was a smashing success.

Though the PS1 and the PS2 really had no competition to speak of... what will happen when faced with the Wii and the 360? Hmm...

Anyone who has purchased one, please share thoughts / screen caps!

Hard to guess who actually got one. Countless of them were sold to Chinese people. Eh, a pretty bad way to describe it, but here you go:

Word is they'll be allowing Linux and other alternative stuff without any expensive / limited-production "kit". That and reading about the Cell arch has actually got me interested in owning one.

We'll know more about that when they open this. It's also my biggest reason for wanting one.
