In Schweden scheints auch übel zu laufen (gibt schon Scherzbilder dazu)
Ausserdem kam wohl jetzt raus dass die EU-PS3 nur in 50Hz auf nicht HD-Geräten läuft, auf HD-Geräten gibt es PAL60

http://www.angry-gamer.net/ag/images/stories/images/070323_ps3_2.jpgAngry Gamer's roving reporters drank a heap of chocolate milk, grabbed a camera and checked out the alleged hotspots of PS3 midnight launch activity in Australia. Here's what we saw. The short version? The worst launch since the Challenger space craft.
http://www.angry-gamer.net/ag/images/stories/images/070323_ps3_4.jpgAt EB Games in the middle of the city they set up this huge corridor for people to line up. EXCEPT NOBODY CAME TO FILL UP THE LINE. No less than four security guards were hired to keep the NONEXISTANT crowd in line. Two of them left shortly after midnight. They were nice enough guys, but they wouldn't let us take photos, so we snuck this one in.
Anyway, we had a chat to some of the staff in that EB and they said they shifted a handful of machines, but not as many as the Toombul store, which apparently sold a whopping 20. We went to another EB Games and saw this. a handful of random people who were just there to kill some time because most stores are shut at this time of night and they ran out of money to drink at the nearby pubs. I've been to funerals that were more exciting than this. It really is the worst hardware launch the country has ever seen. Not even a few months ago these places were packed - Japanese trains at lunch hour packed - with people clamoring to buy a Wii. And now look at this.

One of the biggest PS3 retailers, Harvey Norman, have been blitzing television and radio ads over the past week about their midnight PS3 launch. Well, it looks like it went over so badly that they closed up shop early. Oops!
We then hit one more EB to see how it all went. Once again, it was a ghost town, but the manager was very proud of the fact that 33 pre-ordered machines were picked up. He wasn't so proud that he still had 50 un-ordered ones in the back room.
So Sony apparently brought 20,000 machines into the country. So if Brisbane sold just over 50, let's say Sydney and Melbourne did 200 each to be generous. Throw in some extras for the other capital cities and we'll call it 500 machines on launch night. Oh all right, let's be really generous and call it a thousand.
1,000 out of 20,000.
ABSOLUTELY UNIMITIGATED DISASTER.
