The PS3 launch seems to have bombed in Australia.... Sony said they had 20,000 pre-orders, but most stores were virtually deserted when they opened at midnight. The guy who bought the first PS3 in the country said he was shocked to be first in line when he only turned up after 9pm...

The SMH is one of the most reputable news sources in the country
but you have 20k units which are already being preordered.
