Actually I think Europe actually deserved this lol, this is the 3rd time Sony pushed back their launch in Europe. And im meaning for the PS1 and PS2 launches not that Sony pushed the PS3 launch back 3 times.
But this isn't about Europe, and it is not about High Definition Televisions ...
This is about Sony attempting to control the spin that will be put on a story that will be in every newspaper, and every tv news broadcast tomorow. I'm reasonably sure some (clever) marketing drone pointed out that they had two choices for what would be written tomorow:
If they did nothing:
"The PS3 launched in Europe today and didn't sell out; the PS3 has been selling poorly around the world compared to the amazingly popular Nintendo Wii and it is suspected that Sony eats babies"
But if they give away a free TV:
"The PS3 launched in Europe today and the first 100 people in line at the Launch in london recieved a free 46 inch HDTV from Sony that retails for 2,000. I bet those guys in line felt the got quite the deal"
