@Death2009 only some percent of people in europe have hdtv at home - i think blue ray is no reason to buy a ps3 ... iam going to buy a new television soon - i want a bigger one and i buy one without hdtv -> much cheaper :) i think the best time of blue ray will be in some years ... to the topic: i also think that nintendo is shipping more units to europe ... good idea that shocked people from the price can buy wii or xbox360 :)
